Have you heard of Sensory Processing? 🤔👇

Sensory Processing Workshop For Parents

Difficulties interpreting information from sight, sound, touch, taste, smell & movement can affect our: daily activities & learning… Relationships Emotions & behaviour

Ever wonder why some children:
🏃 Are excessive risk takers- jumping & crashing into anything they can?
😭 Will cry or cover their ears with every loud sound- even vacuums, toilets or hairdryers?
🫕 Will only eat macaroni & cheese & pizza?
👚Will only wear certain clothes or need you to cut tags out of their shirts?
👐Won’t put their hands in anything messy or use glue, play-dough, or play with mud?
😫 Crowded stores bother them so much leading to major meltdowns in public places?

At this workshop, parents will develop an understanding of:
✓ What sensory processing is
✓ What it means to have difficulties with sensory processing
✓ What do sensory processing difficulties look like
✓ What we can do to help

When: Monday 21 November
Time: 9.30am to 11.30am
Where: Child and Parent Centre - Rangeway
Crèche available
RSVP: call- 📞99216 814, text - 📲0438 860 669, email - 💻[email protected]

🐍 It's heating up and they are on the move 🐍 please be aware 🐍 of potential dangers. It's better to overreact than not act.

**UPDATE: there have been lots of comments and questions regarding whether antivenom was available in Northam.
WACHS has supplied the following statement:
"Northam Health Campus stocks clinically appropriate anti venoms.

"This patient was transferred based on the advice of a specialist toxicologist and for no other reason."

SNAKE SCARE

A Wheatbelt mother says her two-year-old son is lucky to be alive after he was bitten by a venomous snake in their York backyard.

Tirsha Craven says she noticed her two-year-old son’s leg was red and swollen after he’d been playing outside.

“I just went to go and take his shoe off and noticed two little fang marks on his leg,” she said.

“I didn’t actually see the snake bite, he didn’t tell me he got bitten by the snake.”

Ms Craven says she took her son to Northam Hospital, and he was then rushed to Perth Children's Hospital and given anti-venom.

At first she feared she may be over-reacting but his condition deteriorated quickly.

“They rushed him in straight away, it was very scary, when we got there, they thought he was almost dead because he was so floppy,” she said.
“They [doctors] said to me it’s a good thing you responded the way you did; over-reacting is much better than under-reacting.

“He definitely wouldn’t have made it without anti-venom.”

It comes as, St John Ambulance said WA's Wheatbelt has recorded 71 cases of stings and bites requiring medical attention in the past two years.

The Pilbara and South West regions also had a high number of cases, with 78 and 82, respectively.
