Life can be busy, and sometimes it can feel like everything is just go-go-go!

But no matter what’s going on in your life, it is important to remember to take a moment and let yourself be in the present.

June is Aphasia Awareness Month. 

More than 140,000 Australians live with aphasia.

Aphasia is described as a loss of language skills. It is often caused by a stroke, head injury, tumours, infections or inflammation in the brain, and it can affect each individual differently.

If your child is 0-7 years old and is currently accessing NDIS through the early intervention pathway, you probably hear the NDIS talk a lot about the ‘Key Worker’ and having a ‘Key Worker’, but what is it?

Many people have food they like and food they don’t, but for neurodivergent children and adults, this can extend into sensory needs that make some foods safe and others stressful to eat.

What a big week ahead of us… not only are kids about to start School Holiday’s, but the AFL ‘Gather Round’ starts tonight!

Australia has a strong sporting culture, with people usually getting involved from a young age.

Sport is an important part of life, especially for children, with the benefits of physical activity invaluable. This is the same for children with disabilities.

Do you know a child who might benefit from practising their social skills in a group setting? Run by experienced allied health therapists, we are offering two school holiday programs; Social Butterflies and Social Builders both North and South of Adelaide, SA.

Swallowing is a vital part of life. Humans swallow 500 -700 times a day, but most people don’t think about swallowing or what might go wrong with it.

Mental health is something that affects everyone and can impact our lives in physical and emotional ways.

Young children are already trying to make sense of the world around them, so when they have emotions in response to this, it can be difficult for them to understand.

How much do you know about Social Work?

HenderCare’s Social Work Team provide therapy services to young children with varying needs, including trauma backgrounds and disabilities.
