Thank you to all the wonderful ConnectAbility customers, support staff, and people from other disability agencies who came along to today’s sold-out Halloween Disco. It was a SCREAM! 👻

Here’s a short snippet of just some of our Friday Fun Say spook-tacular dancers busting their best moves (some of them were so good it was frightening! 💀🕺).

Everyone had a fang-tastic time, and we can’t wait for the next ConnectAbility interagency event! Watch this space...

Wishing you all a happy Halloween this Saturday - whether you'll be tricking, treating or a having a nice quiet night in on the couch'. 🍬🦇

Did you know ❓

There are 170,000+ primary, secondary and early childhood teachers working in NSW! 🍎📚

World Teachers' Day is normally celebrated on 5 October. As this date usually falls within the school holidays, NSW celebrates on the last Friday of October, which is TODAY. 🙌

So, we’re shining a spotlight on our incredible Early Intervention Teachers who help children learn, grow, connect and thrive. 🌱✨

From supporting children in their homes, preschools and communities to empowering families and collaborating with educators and therapists, our Early Intervention Teachers make a meaningful difference every single day.

They celebrate the little wins that lead to big milestones. They build confidence, independence and inclusion. They empower families and help educators create more inclusive environments for every child. 🤝

Sometimes, the biggest impact comes from the smallest moments - a new friendship, a child's first successful interaction with peers, a new communication skill or a family feeling more confident in their journey. 💫

To our incredible Early Intervention Teachers, thank you for your compassion, creativity, dedication and unwavering commitment to helping every child reach their potential. The difference you make matters more than words can say!

Plus, we’re excited to be launching FREE Supported Playgroups in Kurri and Muswellbrook, creating welcoming spaces for children and families to connect, play and learn together! You can find out more here: https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01tB6m0 🧸🎨

💬 LET'S CELEBRATE! Help us show our teachers some love in the comments!

💜 Celebrating Occupational Therapy Week and that Participation Matters 💜

What does participation look like at 2, 5 or 12 years old? 🌱

Sometimes, it looks like a little one watching other children jump, trying it out for themselves, and discovering the joy of jumping in puddles and bouncing on trampolines. 💦

Sometimes, it looks like a preschooler learning the rhythm of a familiar routine - joining the circle, listening to the music, following along and finding their place amongst their peers. 🎶

And sometimes, it looks like a school-aged child practising the same skill over and over again. Building strength, trying different strategies, making adjustments and keeping going until those shoelaces finally come together. 👟

Three different ages. Three very different experiences. One important thing in common: the opportunity to participate in everyday life.

These moments remind us that progress isn't always quick, and it doesn't look the same for everyone.

Sometimes it takes lots of practice. Sometimes it takes watching, exploring and having a go. And sometimes it means learning how to join in, connect with others and feel confident being part of a group.

Occupational therapy is about supporting people to develop the skills, confidence and opportunities to take part in the activities that matter to them.

This OT Week, we're celebrating the everyday moments, the opportunities to learn and the many different ways we can support participation at every age.

Because the little things can be big things. And participation matters. 🤝

We're taking a moment to celebrate our OT Team. You can learn more here: https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01tzVF0

Something new is coming for local families 💜

We’re currently connecting with families across Cessnock, Kurri Kurri, Singleton and Muswellbrook who may be interested in upcoming family supports.

Families may have the opportunity to:
🧸 Enjoy attending free playgroup sessions with their child

💬 Talk through common parenting questions and challenges
🤝 Meet other parents and carers in their local community
👩‍⚕️ Connect with our qualified allied health team in a welcoming, family-friendly environment
🌱 Take part in parenting programs such as Circle of Security

We’re also looking at evening options for some parenting groups to make it easier for working parents and carers to attend.

There’s no commitment at this stage. Filling out our referral simply lets us know you’re interested and helps us plan groups around what local families need.

📍 Cessnock/Kurri Kurri
