🎉🎉🎉 Big success here 🤩🤩🤩
Reaching at the midline supports the development of fine motor skills, such as grasping, holding, and manipulating objects. It encourages visual-motor integration, as the child learns to coordinate what they see with how they move their hands. Additionally, this ability lays the foundation for later skills such as self-feeding, dressing, writing, and other daily activities that require coordinated use of both hands.

🎉🎉 It’s already been 10 years together 🎉🎉

When I look back at my beginnings — filled with hope, dreams, and a little uncertainty — I feel immense gratitude. For every child’s smile. For every small step forward that meant something truly big. For every moment when trust met dedication and gentle hands supported growing strength.

Thank you for your trust, for walking this journey with Veritas Physio, and for allowing me to be part of your children’s stories.

So many beautiful moments are behind us — and many more are still ahead.

Is your child lying on the desk? Supports its head during homework or meals? Then this article is for you.

Laying on the desk is a sign of…

a child who may have poor postural strength. Kids who tend to have weak core muscles may also have trouble holding up their torso for tasks that usually come naturally to others.

If a child needs help developing postural strength, you may often find them doing the following:

😒Laying on their desk
😒Placing head on desk while writing notes on paper
😒Uncoordinated
😒Falls frequently or appears clumsy
😒Fidgets or struggles to attend

Children who need help improving their postural strength can do a number of activities that can support this area of learning.

🔔 Our first family announcement of 2026! 🔔

‘DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland’ is coming to Westbury, to the Limerick/Clare border...

Baz & the team will be in Westbury, Corbally, to rally the troops in support of Carter Purcell and his family.

Four-year-old Carter was born with a rare genetic condition, and from birth his developmental future has been uncertain. He spent the first two years of his life in and out of hospital, requiring highly specialised medical care, while his parents, Alex and Nikita, remained by his side day and night.

Carter lives with his parents and his older brother AJ. Alex is Carter’s full-time carer, while Nikita works full time to support the family. Carter is entirely dependent on his parents for all aspects of his care. He cannot speak, sit independently, or walk, and is fed via a tube directly into his stomach. At night, he relies on a CPAP machine to maintain safe oxygen levels.

Carter requires round-the-clock care and has a solid build for his age, weighing about 16kg and will only get bigger. All bedrooms in the family home are upstairs, meaning Carter must be carried several times a day between the bedroom, bathroom, and living area.

Given the need for ongoing physiotherapy and the bulky equipment it requires, adequate storage at home is essential. It is recommended by his Occupational Therapist that the house be adapted for Carter but understandably due to the large cost this has not been possible.

This is where DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland steps in… with your help!

Together, we can create a safe, supportive home that allows Carter to be cared for with dignity and gives him the best possible chance to develop and thrive.
