From learning new stitches to choosing their favourite colourful yarn, our clients have been getting creative, sharing laughs and enjoying the process of making something with their own hands.

And it’s about much more than crochet!

Every session is an opportunity to practise fine motor skills, improve concentration, build confidence, connect with others and develop new skills at their own pace.

For our team, each class is an opportunity to observe and document functional capacity, including how participants follow instructions, approach new tasks, solve problems and what level of support they need along the way.

Do you support a client who enjoys creative activities or would like to try something new?

Book a spot for a client you support in our next crochet class!

Because sometimes, something as simple as learning a new stitch can be a meaningful step towards greater confidence and independence.

A little look at what we got up to in the kitchen yesterday!

Our clients got busy making homemade mini quiches with a fresh side salad, and we loved seeing everyone get involved!

There was plenty of chopping, mixing, rolling, a little mess and lots of laughs along the way.

Beyond the delicious food, it was another opportunity to practise everyday cooking skills, build confidence, learn from each other and enjoy some good company.

Do you support a client who loves cooking or who would like to build their confidence in the kitchen?

Our cooking classes run weekly at the TS Community Access Evidence Hub in Islington, Newcastle.

Book a spot for the client you support in our next booking class.

It's a great opportunity for them to meet new people, try new recipes and develop their cooking skills at their own pace.

And while everyone enjoys the activites, our team also has the opportunity to observe and document functional capacity, capture meaningful evidence of client skills, independence and support needs.

Does needing help mean someone isn't independent?

Think about it.

Someone might need assistance preparing a meal, organising their day or taking part in a community activity.

But they can still make their own decisions.

Choose what they want.

Take responsibility for parts of an activity.

And participate in ways that matter to them.

Independence doesn't always mean doing everything alone.

Sometimes, it's about having the right support to do more of what you want to do.

And that's an important difference.

At Therapeutic Support, we believe meaningful Community Access should create opportunities for clients to make choices, explore their interests and work towards goals that matter to them.

Our latest blog explores what independence can really look like in everyday disability support, and why needing assistance doesn't make someone's participation any less meaningful.

What if independence isn't about removing support, but providing the right support?

Therapeutic Support may be able to help.

We offer Medium Term Accommodation across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley, with concierge and cluster support models designed to provide the right level of support without unnecessarily reducing independence.

It's World's Cerebal Palsy Day!

A day to celebrate people living with cerebal palsy, their achievements, their personalities and everything that makes them who they are.

It's also a reminder that everyone deserves the opportunity to be included, make their own choices, try new things and be part of their community.

There's no one experience of cerebral palsy. Every person is different, and every journey looks different.

Today, we celebrate those journeys.

Looking for Short Term Accommodation that offers more than just somewhere to stay?

At Therapeutic Support, respite is about giving the client an enjoyable break, opportunities to build confidence and capacity, and experiences that are meaningful to them.

And we currently have two very different locations to choose from.

WARATAH
Close to shops, parks, and the community.

SWANSEA
Waterfront living, right on the water and near Swansea Heads.
Go fishing.
Take a walk around the lake.
Get out into the community.

Enjoy everything Lake Macquarie has to offer.

The world really is your oyster.

Good respite should achieve more than a change of scenery.
For the client, it should be enjoyable, meaningful and provide opportunities to build independence and work towards individual goals.

For families and carers, it provides something equally important: a genuine and much needed break.

And behind the scenes, our support staff understand the importance of evidence based documentation.

Through everyday activities and experiences, meaningful evidence can be captured around what the client can do independently, where prompting or assistance is required, what strategies work and what support the client needs to participate successfully.

Contact us today to discuss availability and which environment may be the right fit for your client.

Yesterday, our cooking class at the TS Evidence Hub was about much more than making something delicious.

Our clients were hands-on throughout each step of the process.

From following a recipe and sequencing steps to measuring ingredients, making choices, communicating and problem-solving, each part of the activity created an opportunity to build capacity and observe functional skills in action.

And that’s an important part of what we do at the Evidence Hub.

While participants engage in activities they enjoy, our team can capture meaningful observations around what they can do independently, where prompting or assistance may be required, and how they approach different tasks.

Fun and engagement, with purpose behind every activity, that's what the hub is about

Here’s a little glimpse of yesterday’s cooking class.

We've talked about better evidence.

Now let's show you what we're doinh with it.

Over the last two articles, we've talked about why functional evidence matters and what better everyday observations can look like.

Now we're showing you how we're putting that thinking into practice.

Welcome to the TS Community Access Evidence Hub.

It's a space where clients can participate in meaningful activities across different environments while support teams have opportunities to better observe and document everyday function.

Because sometimes it's while doing something that we begin to see:

What can the client do independently?

Where is prompting needed?

What happens when something changes?

Are agreed strategies working in everyday situations?

Is the same barrier appearing across different activities?

The goal isn't to turn Community Access into an assessment.

Meaningful participation still comes first.

The opportunity is to make better use of the observations already happening along the way.

We've taken you inside the Hub in Part 3 of our series.
