What is active waiting? Active waiting involves taking a proactive role in your child’s development whilst waiting for therapy services to commence. Supporting your child to strengthen their skills and increase social interactions with you and their peers ensures that your child is prepared for therapy.

Improving access and social connection ✅ Carpentaria OT Genna recently completed a successful trial and implementation of a paediatric seating frame for Fathia. This new equipment will improve Fathia's access to the yard at childcare, will allow her to participate in table-top activities, and means she can adjust her height to improve interaction with peers. We love seeing the great outcomes and improved quality of life that can be achieved thanks to Assistive Technology. Fathia's smile says it all!

Thanks to Edward from Paywise Salary Packaging for popping into the office this week to chat with our employees about the benefits of salary packaging. It was great for our team members to book some 1:1 time to discuss how salary packaging can work for them, resulting in more money in their pocket. 💰
