International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is an annual observation dedicated to raising awareness for discrimination experienced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. This day also advocates for acceptance, equality, understanding and protection for LGBTQIA+ people worldwide. How to show your support: 1. Go Rainbow: Whether it's with your school, workplace or by yourself, go rainbow to signal your stance against LGBTQIA+ discrimination. 2. Host an Activity: Get together and host an event for LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Organise a guest speaker or inclusion training session and hear directly from those with lived experience. This could be in the workplace or in community groups such as local sports teams. Big or small, your event will make a difference. 3. Build Inclusion: Build LGBTQIA+ inclusion all year round. You don’t’ need to change the world but we can all make efforts in our communities to be more inclusive, continually learn, amplify the voices of those with lived experience, and call out discrimination when you see it. #sunshineandbuttercup #behaviourtherapists #behaviourtherapist #behaviourtherapyworks #newcastlendis #newcastlendisprovider #behaviourtherapy #behavioursupport #behavioursupportpractitioner #behavioursupportworker #ndisregisteredprovider #ndis #ndissupport #ndisapproved #ndisprovider #ndisaustralia #lgbtpride #lgbtqpride #lgbtqiaplus #internationaldayagainsthomophobia #internationaldayagainsthomophobiaandtransphobia #internationaldayagainsthomophobiatransphobiaandbiphobia #lgbtqia #lgbtqiapride #lgbtqiarights

I almost quit being a therapist. Why? Well, let me take you back to the beginning. My very first session was a rollercoaster of emotions. 🎢 As a fresh-faced (baby) therapist, I was so excited to start my career, thinking “Yay I’m finally going to make a difference in children’s lives!” ✨ Or that’s what I thought… After that session ended, I sat in my car, overwhelmed with doubt and tears unleashed all over the steering wheel. I thought to myself.. 💔 “I’m not good enough.” 💔 “Wtf am I even doing.” 💔 “Quitting is the answer.” I was allowing fear of failing to consume me. But I didn’t throw in the towel. And that was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I use to think I was a failure for making mistakes but a great mentor of mine would say “as long as you’re learning, you’re not failing.” 💪🏻 I’ve made many mistakes aka learnings throughout my years and that’s how I grew as a clinician! If I did quit… ❤️ I wouldn’t have found what I love doing ❤️ I wouldn’t have supported incredible families ❤️ I wouldn’t have achieved my dream of owning a clinic I owe a huge THANK YOU to the amazing people who helped me turn this dream into reality. 💜 To my parents who spent hours tirelessly building, painting, fixing to ensure I had everything I needed. 🧡 To my partner who not only spent hours at the clinic but also showered me with endless support and encouragement. 💙 To my families and learners who’ve entrusted me with their journey - I hope I created a space you can feel safe in. 💛 To you reading this, remember: “Don’t let fear hold you back. You never know what you’re capable of until you try!” . . . . #believeinyourself❤️ #takeachanceonyou #behaviourtherapy #behaviourtherapist #tryandtryagain

International Nurses Day👩⚕️ Celebrated on the 12th of May each year, International Nurses serves as a time to recognise and honour the contributions, dedications and sacrifices of nurses worldwide. Each year, the International Nurses Day theme is chosen by the International Council of Nurses – a federation of more than 130 national nursing associations around the world, representing over 28 million nurses working globally. The 2024 International Nurses Day theme is “Our Nurses. Our Future”. Working in the allied health space Sunshine and Buttercup want to highlight the invaluable work that nurses do every day. Too often nurses are undervalued and overworked, today we shift that perspective and acknowledge their incredible contributions. #sunshineandbuttercup #behaviourtherapists #behaviourtherapist #behaviourtherapyworks #newcastlendis #newcastlendisprovider #behaviourtherapy #behavioursupport #behavioursupportpractitioner #behavioursupportworker #ndisregisteredprovider #ndis #ndissupport #ndisapproved #ndisprovider #ndisaustralia #internationalnurseday #internationalnursesday2024 #nursesday #nursesday2024

Sensory activity – Winter themed sensory bins ❄⛄ Sensory bins involve a container of various materials or objects for play and exploration. They are designed to provide sensory experiences through touch, sight, and sometimes even sound and smell. These can be as simple or elaborate as you like. Remember, they don’t have to be Pinterest worthy to be fun! One fantastic wintery sensory bin activity is ‘Frozen Dino Eggs’. This involves taking a balloon, placing a small dinosaur toy inside, filling it with water, and freezing it. Children can then play with the “eggs” and use tools or warm water to reveal the dinosaur hidden inside! There are many potential benefits including: ❄Fine Motor Skills: Pouring, scooping, and manipulating objects helps children develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. ❄Science Exploration: Children learn about concepts like buoyancy and liquid and solid states through hands-on exploration in the water. ❄Cognitive Development: Sensory bins encourage problem-solving and experimentation as children explore the properties of various materials. #sunshineandbuttercup #therapyresourcesforkids #therapyresources #therapyresource #behaviourtherapists #behaviourtherapist #behaviourtherapyworks #newcastlendis #newcastlendisprovider #behaviourtherapy #behavioursupport #behavioursupportpractitioner #behavioursupportworker #ndisregisteredprovider #ndis #ndissupport #ndisapproved #ndisprovider #ndisaustralia #sensorybin #sensoryplay #sensoryactivity #sensoryplayideas #sensoryplaytime

Book of the Week: Just Snow Already by Howard McWilliam❄️⛄️ Nothing is as fun as snow. At least that’s what one little boy thinks. But while he stares up at the sky, he misses all the excitement down on the street. There goes a fire engine and a monster truck! And are those monkeys!? ‘Just Snow Already!’ captures the frustration with waiting and the struggle to learn patience. Bursting with hilarious details, it offers a humorous observation about living in the moment and noticing what’s around you. #sunshineandbuttercup #bookoftheweek #therapyresourcesforkids #therapyresources #therapyresource #behaviourtherapists #behaviourtherapist #behaviourtherapyworks #newcastlendis #newcastlendisprovider #behaviourtherapy #behavioursupport #booksforschools #behavioursupportpractitioner #behavioursupportworker #ndisregisteredprovider #ndis #ndissupport #ndisapproved #ndisprovider #ndisaustralia #resourcesforparents #booksforkids #booksforchildren #resourcesforteaching #resourcesforteachers
Learn with us: Why movement breaks are useful Movement breaks (sometimes referred to as brain breaks) are a short 3–4-minute movement opportunity to break up seated learning. Students may stop work on the task at hand or perform the movement break to transition between activities. As a result of the movement break, students can “shift gears” and relax, breathe, and refocus after expending attention or concentration on a task or problem. These breaks are a powerful and effective way to address self-regulation needs, help with attention, and impact learning in the classroom. We prefer the term ‘movement break’ over ‘brain break’ because the movement is a crucial component and it actually helps cognition. There have been studies done demonstrating movement in students increases engagement in learning and information retention. #sunshineandbuttercup #therapyresourcesforkids #therapyresources #therapyresource #behaviourtherapists #behaviourtherapist #behaviourtherapyworks #newcastlendis #newcastlendisprovider #behaviourtherapy #behavioursupport #behavioursupportpractitioner #behavioursupportworker #ndisregisteredprovider #ndis #ndissupport #ndisapproved #ndisprovider #ndisaustralia #movementbreaks #movementbreaksforkids #movementbreakforkids

Sensory Activities: water play 💧 Water sensory play involves providing a container of water and incorporating various materials or objects. They are designed to provide sensory experiences through touch, sight, and sometimes even sound and smell. These can be as simple or elaborate as you like. Remember, they don’t have to be Pinterest worthy to be fun! For an easy ocean themed sensory activity simply choose a large plastic tub that is shallow enough for young children. Fill the container with water to an appropriate depth for your child’s age and supervision level, add a few drops of food colouring. Then Add toys, scoops, cups, funnels, or sponges. The potential benefits including: • Water sensory bins spark imaginative play as children create stories and scenarios. • Social Skills: Sharing and taking turns in the sensory bin promotes cooperation. • Emotional Regulation: Water play can be calming and soothing for kids. #sunshineandbuttercup #therapyresourcesforkids #therapyresources #therapyresource #behaviourtherapists #behaviourtherapist #behaviourtherapyworks #newcastlendis #newcastlendisprovider #behaviourtherapy #behavioursupport #behavioursupportpractitioner #behavioursupportworker #ndisregisteredprovider #ndis #ndissupport #ndisapproved #ndisprovider #ndisaustralia #waterplay #waterplayfun #waterplaytime #waterplayideas #sensoryplay #sensoryplayideas #sensoryplaytime #sensoryplayideas #sensoryplayathome

💬 “But last week they were able to do it” 💬 “But this week, they’ve had trouble sleeping and are experiencing more frequent meltdowns. Do we really think it’s best to push them into this tasks? “ It's important to recognise that individuals with disabilities are always doing their best, even if their efforts may not always align with what others expect. Their best can vary from day to day due to the individualised challenges. It is our job to remain in tune with what is being communicated and to meet each other where we are. It's not our place to stigmatise or judge for not meeting perceived standards of effort. Instead, we should offer support and understanding, acknowledging each others efforts and journey. #positivebehavioursupport #behaviourspecialist #neurodivegentcommunity #neurodivegentacceptance #ndis #ndisprovider #ndissupport #behaviourtherapy #behaviourtherapist #behaviourmanagement #behavioursupport #behavioursupportworker #behaviourproblems #challengingbehaviours #behavioursofconcerns #behaviourstrategies #behaviourtips #behaviourpractitioner #postivebehaviourplans #behaviourchange #emotionalregualtion #disabilities #disabilitysupport #strengthbased #strengthbasedapproach #disabilityally #d #disabilityallies
