✨ As 2025 comes to a close, we want to thank our Beam community for being part of another meaningful year. It has been our privilege to support you, your families, and each other.

This year brought growth, connection, and celebration. We welcomed new team members across our clinics, supported students on placement, and recognised important achievements within our team. You may have seen us at community events or workshops. Every moment has strengthened the Beam community and the work we do together.

May you find moments of rest and care over the holiday season and 2026 brings you a sense of hope, wellbeing, and bright moments. 💛

A big thank you to the wonderful team at Bolton Point Child Care Centre for welcoming us into your centre 💛

Over the past few months, Beam OT Ghye has worked in close collaboration with educators through fortnightly sessions, delivering a practical presentation on behaviour, spending time on the floor with children, and supporting both educators and parents with tailored, everyday strategies.

This collaborative approach helps ensure strategies feel practical, consistent, and embedded into everyday routines across both home and early learning environments.

Beam offers a range of allied health services, including OT, Speech Pathology, Psychology, and Behaviour Support, and we love working in partnership with early learning centres to support educators, families, and children ✨

What we see in the news can sometimes feel overwhelming and distressing, and it’s natural for these stories to leave us feeling unsettled. Children can experience similar feelings too, even if they don’t say anything.

Beam Registered Psychologist, Sally shares this gentle, practical blog to support parents and carers in navigating scary news with kids, including how to start the conversation, keep it age appropriate, and help children feel safe and reassured.

If you’re unsure what to say, or how much to share, you’re not alone. We hope this resource offers some calm guidance and support during a challenging time.

🌟 Meet Gabby, Behaviour Support Practitioner at Beam 🌟
If you're exploring Behaviour Support as a way of understanding and supporting your child, teen or young adult, you may be wondering what it involves and how it can help foster autonomy and participation in ways that feel right for each individual.

At Beam, we take a neuro-affirming approach, recognising that all behaviour is a form of communication. We work alongside individuals to understand their needs, strengths, and experiences, and develop purposeful, practical strategies that support emotional wellbeing, co-regulation, skill-building, and independence.

🧡 Introducing Gabby
Based in Warners Bay, Gabby is passionate about helping individuals navigate big emotions, changing environments, and growing independence. She brings a warm, genuine and collaborative approach, to create practical, supportive strategies that truly fit her clients lives. Drawing on a neurodiversity affirming, trauma-informed and strengths-based practice, she often incorporates the PACE model (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) to build trust and safety. While she often works with teens, Gabby also supports younger children and adults who benefit from her thoughtful approach.

🌟 How Behaviour Support can help:
✔ Recognise and honour neurotype while tailoring supports
✔ Build skills for independence and everyday life
✔ Support emotional wellbeing
✔ Adapt environments and strategies to reduce distress and difficulties
✔ Collaborate on strategies to reduce distress and meet underlying needs
✔ Offer guidance and education for parents/carers
✔ Celebrate neurodivergent strengths

Beam provides Behaviour Support for NDIS participants and privately funded clients. Practitioners complete Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA) and develop tailored Behaviour Support Plans to help clients build skills and feel understood.

🌈 Looking for support that truly values strengths and individuality? We’re here to help.
