This activity is a progression from our previous structured obstacle course, where the child is now encouraged to independently create and build their own obstacle course using the equipment available ✨

Instead of simply following instructions, the child now takes the lead by planning the setup, creating rules, and deciding how each part of the course should work. This approach challenges ideation, creativity, decision making and problem solving in a fun and meaningful way.

From an OT perspective, this type of child-led activity supports:
✅ Executive functioning skills including planning, organising, sequencing and cognitive flexibility
✅ Motor planning and body awareness
✅ Gross motor coordination, balance and core strength
✅ Communication and self-expression through explaining rules and ideas
✅ Confidence, autonomy and resilience when ideas need adjusting or don’t go as planned

Giving children opportunities to create and lead activities helps build independence, self-confidence and flexible thinking skills that transfer into school, play and everyday life 🌟

“The Fuzzies” might look like a simple stacking game, but from an OT perspective it targets so many important developmental skills ✨

Similar to Jenga, but even more challenging, this activity requires greater precision, grading of force, and upper body control to carefully remove and place the fuzzy balls without knocking the tower over. The child also follows movement instructions from the cards, adding another layer of cognitive and motor challenge.

Through play, the child worked on:
✅ Fine motor control and hand stability
✅ Visual motor integration and hand-eye coordination
✅ Bilateral coordination
✅ Motor planning and body awareness
✅ Sustained attention and working memory
✅ Executive functioning skills such as impulse control, planning, problem solving and decision making
✅ Emotional regulation, patience and resilience when the tower falls

Games like this are a great way to build functional skills while keeping therapy fun, engaging and meaningful for children 🌟

This structured obstacle course was more than just movement and play ✨

In this activity, the OT first created and demonstrated the obstacle course, then the child was encouraged to explain and demonstrate the sequence independently. This challenged executive functioning and cognitive skills including working memory, attention, sequencing, planning, problem solving, processing speed, impulse control, and motor planning.

At the same time, the obstacle course supported gross motor development through balance, coordination, body awareness and core strength, which are all important foundations for fine motor skills and everyday functional tasks.

Activities like this help children build confidence, follow multi-step instructions, and develop the physical and cognitive foundations needed for school, play and daily life 💪🌟

Occupational Therapy continues to evolve with the world around us.

Digital health. Telehealth. Assistive technology. Smarter assessment tools. Greater accessibility.

Modern changes have not replaced the core of OT. They have strengthened it.

At its heart, Occupational Therapy is still about participation. Independence. Meaningful engagement in everyday life.

What has changed is how we deliver support. We can now reach more people, tailor interventions more precisely and integrate technology to enhance safety, function and choice.

Progress in practice means greater opportunity for the people we support.

Still buzzing from an incredible 3 days at the Australian Institute of Sport ❤️

Had the opportunity to coach at camp with the Australian Men's Blind Football Team and honestly… I was geeking out the whole time just being immersed in that high performance environment. Living on site, surrounded by elite sport, was such a privilege (and yes… the buffet breakfasts, lunches and dinners will definitely be missed 😅).

Working with these athletes was something special. I genuinely believe they have superpowers. Playing football with vision impairment brings a completely different dimension to the game, relying on heightened senses, awareness, and the ability to filter out distractions and lock into the right stimulus. It’s incredible to witness and be part of.

Beyond training, the group are just an amazing bunch of humans. So much respect for the way they show up, work hard and support each other. We’re now building towards the Asian Championships in Osaka, Japan next month. Up the boys! 🇦🇺⚽️

I absolutely love working in this space.

Technology is not just convenience. For many people with disabilities, it is access. It is independence. It is opportunity.

From assistive communication devices to smart home systems and telehealth, modern innovation is breaking down barriers that once limited participation in daily life.

When used intentionally, technology can increase choice, safety, confidence and connection.

Progress is not just about advancement. It is about inclusion.

If you or someone you support is exploring assistive technology, the right assessment and guidance can make all the difference.

Technology is not just convenience. For many people with disabilities, it is access. It is independence. It is an opportunity.

Such a great catch up with the teams from RPM Allied Health and Westside Support Services ❤️

Conversations like this remind me what our industry is all about. Collaboration, sharing knowledge, learning from each other, and supporting one another so we can continue to provide the best outcomes for individuals with disability. And of course, sharing a few laughs along the way.

Thank you Alex and the team, it was so lovely to connect with you all!

We are more connected than ever. Yet many adults feel more isolated, overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves.

Modern life moves fast. Constant notifications. Productivity pressure. Online comparison. Fewer deep, meaningful conversations. Less community.

Over time, this can impact our relationships, our sense of belonging and even our sense of purpose.

Mental health is not just about managing stress. It is about connection. Community. Meaning.

If you have been feeling stretched, disconnected or unsure of your direction, you are not alone. Small intentional shifts toward real connection and clearer boundaries can make a powerful difference.

Save this as a reminder to check in with yourself this week.

Children today are growing up in a world that looks very different from the one we knew.

More screens. Less unstructured play. Busier schedules. Faster stimulation. Earlier pressure.

These modern shifts are shaping how children develop socially, emotionally and cognitively. Some changes bring opportunity. Others mean we need to be more intentional about protecting movement, connection and real world play.

Development does not just happen. It is built through relationships, boredom, problem solving and shared experiences.

Awareness is the first step. Small changes at home can make a powerful difference.

I had the privilege of visiting the very first 3D printed SDA home in Australia and it was incredible to see in person. The entire house was built in about 10 weeks which is amazing when you think about how long traditional builds usually take.

The design, accessibility features and finish were impressive. It really makes you wonder if this could be the next generation of housing, especially in the NDIS SDA space where faster, more adaptable and more affordable options are needed.

Is this the future of building? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
