I’m an Occupational Therapist and included in both packages is the development and provision of therapeutic resources for your child using photos from the photoshoot. The resources are tailored to your child’s goals, needs and capabilities. One resource is included in the 10 photo package and two resources are included in the whole gallery package. A range of resources are available and the specific resource(s) provided to the participant will be determined during the planning appointment. 

The most popular resources include:

• positive affirmation photobook
• memory and categorisation games using photo magnets or small prints
• social stories photobook
• positive affirmation framed print

These resources can assist with:

• building self-esteem and confidence
• learning social stories
• recognising facial expressions
• developing a sense of belonging
• strengthening bonds with family
• categorisation and pattern recognition
• memory
• fine motor skills

Due to the therapeutic nature of these packages, they can usually be funded under Capacity Building-Improved Daily Living, or under Core NDIS budgets
