Families across Townsville and the surrounding regions, including Hinchinbrook, are discovering a refreshing approach to paediatric Occupational Therapy at Naturally Kids Allied Health, one that is grounded in play, connection and each child’s unique strengths.
Naturally Kids Allied Health supports children to develop the skills they need for everyday life, including emotional regulation, social interaction, motor coordination and confidence. Sessions are child-led and engaging, creating a positive experience where children feel understood, supported and encouraged to grow.
What sets Naturally Kids apart is their strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach, meeting children where they are and building on what matters most to them. Therapy can take place in the clinic, at home, in schools or out in the community, helping children practise skills in real-world environments.
Blockbusters Minecraft Group a School Holiday Success
One of the highlights of the recent school holidays was the Blockbusters Minecraft Group, which was a fantastic success for participating children.
Using the popular game Minecraft as a shared interest, the group provided a welcoming and motivating environment where children could connect with peers while working on important developmental skills. Occupational Therapists guided collaborative, Minecraft-inspired activities that supported communication, teamwork, turn-taking, problem-solving and emotional regulation.
For many children, having a familiar and enjoyable interest at the centre of the group helped reduce anxiety and increased confidence to participate. The group setting encouraged cooperation, flexibility and social connection, while allowing each child to engage at their own pace.
The success of the Blockbusters Minecraft group highlighted the power of interest-based, play-driven therapy, where children can build meaningful skills while doing something they genuinely enjoy.
