Days 2 through to 4 of book week dress ups and themes from a few weeks ago! I’ve been ridiculously busy and not had a chance to edit and post these up!

Had a great time “dressing up” and choosing outfits based around themes.

Those who know me know that I LOVE a reason to dress up and put a costume together!
So with Book Week happening I’m taking the opportunity to dress up every day this week!

Yesterday (Monday) I took inspiration from Anxiety! Best thing is I had everything in my wardrobe already 🧡

Hey everyone! I don’t normally post these style of things however this owner is an old friend of hubbies. He is doing free screen protectors on phones until the end of next week at least - NO CATCH!
Head on down to SOS Phone Repairs & Accessories Wagga on Forsyth St and grab a new screen protector for your device.

People with ADHD often don't have the internal drive, or motivation to complete tasks, particularly low dopamine tasks such as schoolwork, and they need consistent regular encouragement from an external source.
Those four words “little comments, big energy” are exactly the mindset we need to have when supporting little people and big people with ADHD. Regular little comments with big energy.

This simple motto and approach can make the world of difference to someone who is battling their ADHD gremlin to “do the thing”.

Next time the little (or big) ADHDer in your life is starting a low dopamine task, or you catch them doing a low dopamine task, remember these 4 words ➡️ Little comments, big energy and see how much impact it can have 💛

I was reading a post over the weekend from a mum that I met at Playgroup talking about comments she received from passersby for getting out and exercising with her two children (in the double pram!) and the dog. She was talking about how they were supportive little comments, but they provided big energy and those four words, “little comments, big energy” got me thinking.

I’m going to do a little series of posts this week centred around those 4 words and my thoughts around them. Stay tuned!

I love ! This week I have had the pleasure of getting movement goals happening, even though both clients were not keen to be “exercising” but playing a game and beating their own high score well that’s a different story!

These are the reasons we show up to work, this is the progress measured - participation and joy. Building foundational and core skills to enable completion of activities and daily tasks with less barriers!

My LusioMate’s are always part of my grab and go bag.

It’s not just about us as practitioners… it’s about the people we support! We know how hard it is to find an OT for your child/ren, the waitlists are endless… if the recommended changes are put through it’s going to make that problem worse.

Allied Health Professionals need YOU as the participants to advocate with us, tell the NDIA, your federal member and local member of parliament how much benefit you get from having therapies in your home, school, daycare, preschool. How significant the impact will be if these are taken away because allied health businesses won’t be able to travel the same distances to provide service and remain financially viable.

OTs are at breaking point.

The NDIA has made a devastating pricing decision—one that freezes therapy support rates for the seventh year in a row and slashes travel funding for occupational therapists by 50%. These changes are already driving providers out of the system and leaving participants without essential care.

Occupational therapists deserve fair pay.

NDIS participants deserve consistent care.

OTA is campaigning for an immediate price uplift, a fit-for-purpose allied health costing model, and a reversal of the 50% travel rate cut – and we need your voice!

Here’s what you can do:
1.Sign our petition to the Australian Government and NDIA
2. Email your MP using our prepared template - it goes straight to your MP + NDIS decision-makers

We also call on our OTA members to share this with your networks. The more Australians who speak out - participants, families, therapists, and allies - the harder it will be for decision makers to ignore the devastating consequences of this pricing decision.
