Uplifted Homeschooling with Kerri Richards

Clapping games…don’t see these being played a lot anymore but they have so many benefits for our little ones.

What clapping games do you remember?

Clapping Games are an Awesome Way to Work on Motor Skills

Miss Jaime writes "As a school-based OT, I use clapping games often with individual children, small groups, and whole classes. The things that I can learn about a child from watching them learn a clapping game are amazing. I thought I would break it down for the rest of the world so I can spread the love of clapping games!"

How's this for a home education success story? Australia's first Indigenous female surgeon was homeschooled!

There are only four operating surgeons in Australia who identify as Indigenous, and another eight surgical trainees in the pipeline. All are men.

Makes me sad to hear he'd been called 'weird' at school :'( Goes to show, never underestimate anyone who thinks outside the box...

But how good is this performance?! He totally shone! 🌟 🎹 🥁

Just for a bit of fun 🤩 If you love animals like me, I’m sure this’ll put a smile on your dial 😀

Yep, dogs and indeed our other pets, can be the best type of therapy 😀🐾💕

There is a growing body of research exploring the positive impact of dogs (and indeed a variety of other domestic animals) on autistic individuals. Many autistic individuals will describe or be observed to possess a natural affinity with animals. Animals, and particularly dogs, provide a multitude of benefits to autistic people. They come with a present-focused, non-judgemental, and simplified way of communicating and relating to the world around them; they differ vastly from their nuanced and complex human counterparts, who are so often a source of confusion and anxiety for an autistic person.
