The SAISI ExpoSense will have something for everyone. Accredited talks (CPTD and CPD), shopping experience and interactive stations for young and old! Do not miss this event- make a note 6 JUNE 2026 at MIDSTREAM RIDGE PRIMARY SCHOOL.
See you there!

This year, we aim to take the community on a journey through the different sensory systems – and there are more than just the five we were taught about at school. The goal is to unpack concepts such as sensory integration in a practical and enjoyable way, and in doing so, make a positive impact within the community.

When people better understand themselves and their own sensory profiles, and begin to recognise why they respond differently to certain sounds, smells or movement, it can have a positive influence on learning, work performance, relationships and overall health.

The SAISI ExpoSense is an educational community expo that introduces sensory integration to the public in a practical, fun and interactive way. The next ExpoSense will take place on 6 June 2026, at Midstream Ridge Primary School, with the theme “Journey Through the Senses.”

The event is aimed at parents, teachers, children, teenagers and adults, and focuses on demonstrating how sensory experiences influence learning, development and everyday functioning.

I had a wonderful time in Portugal at the ISIC2026 conference. So grateful for the opportunity to showcase my poster presentation! Also very proud of all the South African born OT’s out there! We are changing the world in a good way!

🌳As jy nie mal is oor kinderpartyjies of om langs jou kind op die mat te sit en speel nie… is jy nie ’n slegte ouer nie! Dit pas dalk net nie by jou sensoriese styl nie.
In dié episode gesels Daniëlla met arbeidsterapeut Elrika Beukes van oor hoe ons brein inligting verwerk en sy deel praktiese strategieë om jouself (en sodoende jou kind) beter te verstaan. Is jy die boom se blare, die bas of die wortels? Kom vind uit!

Wait… we’re still in September, right?

Because this week, my therapy kids have been fully in the Christmas spirit.

We're talking Christmas songs, Christmas clothes…

Guess we’re embracing the season... whatever season that is. 😄
