Make a social story for your library
2026-06-09 13:00 - 14:30
A workshop on helping children feel confident when visiting your library Some children prefer familiar routines and may feel anxious when going to new places, including the library. A simple social story can help prepare them for the day and enjoy the experience.

Social stories or social scripts are a research‑informed practical tool to help all children understand what to expect and feel more at ease. In this workshop, you will learn how to create a social story tailored for your library that families can print or access online. Social stories can explain routines, spaces and experiences in a clear, friendly way to support a smoother, more confident visit.

Facilitated by a librarian, a parent peer worker and a specialist early childhood teacher, this practical session will give you the tools to make your library more welcoming and inclusive. They will share both practical strategies and developmental insights to help you create a resource that supports all children and families in your community.

During this interactive session, we will explore:

What makes an effective social story

How social stories support children and families

Ways libraries can use social stories to promote inclusion

How to create a social story that reflects your library’s spaces, routines and expectations

Children develop important social skills like turn-taking and sharing as they engage in group play and follow an enjoyable routine.

This playgroup offers a relaxed, fun-filled environment where children’s development is supported through music. The sessions include singing, playing percussion instruments, dancing, and storytelling—all with a strong focus on interaction and communication.

Starting in a new group can sometimes be challenging. If your child finds it hard at first to be part of the group, we encourage you to keep attending to give them the chance to settle in.

To get the best learning experience from this program, we encourage parental involvement and interaction during each session.

Benefits of Music Together:

Opportunities to connect with other families and share ideas and information, including the value of play and early childhood education.

Musical play gives children opportunities to communicate both verbally and non-verbally while exploring and being creative through instruments, dancing, and singing.

Children will experience following simple instructions in a relaxed, play-based setting.

The sessions follow a set routine each week, helping children feel familiar and confident with what to expect.

Who is this playgroup for

Music Together is a program for children aged 3 to 5, including children with disability, developmental delay, neurodivergence, or families who have concerns about their child’s development. We also warmly welcome all children in this age group and are committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone can join in and feel comfortable.

Parents, grandparents, and siblings are also encouraged to join in and participate! We celebrate diversity and invite families from all backgrounds to be part of our community.

Make a social story for your library
2026-08-13 13:00 - 14:30
A workshop on helping children feel confident when visiting your library Some children prefer familiar routines and may feel anxious when going to new places, including the library. A simple social story can help prepare them for the day and enjoy the experience.

Social stories or social scripts are a research‑informed practical tool to help all children understand what to expect and feel more at ease. In this workshop, you will learn how to create a social story tailored for your library that families can print or access online. Social stories can explain routines, spaces and experiences in a clear, friendly way to support a smoother, more confident visit.

Facilitated by a librarian, a parent peer worker and a specialist early childhood teacher, this practical session will give you the tools to make your library more welcoming and inclusive. They will share both practical strategies and developmental insights to help you create a resource that supports all children and families in your community.

During this interactive session, we will explore:

What makes an effective social story

How social stories support children and families

Ways libraries can use social stories to promote inclusion

How to create a social story that reflects your library’s spaces, routines and expectations

Important: Please complete the Building inclusion in libraries eLearning modules before attending.

Now & Next School
2026-09-02 20:00 - 22:00
Support your child to thrive at school and develop effective learning goals with educators.

Encouraging children to become independent young adults and voice their opinions is an important role for parents. How can we nurture this at school for relevant and achievable learning outcomes for children with disability or developmental delay?

Parents’ opinions are usually included in developing learning plans with educators, but without the child’s participation, the goals developed may not use the child’s strengths and interests for the best outcomes. It’s never too early to start giving children opportunities to make choices.

Now & Next School is an evidence-based program to discover your child’s strengths, coach them to make choices and enhance collaboration with educators for an effective Individual Education Plan.

The four-session program is based on positive psychology, the science of wellbeing and our Child Voice model (Mahmic & Janson, 2019).

Learn about:

Achieving better outcomes by working in partnership with educators

Coaching your child to use their strengths to achieve goals

Practical strategies for improving your child’s wellbeing

Taking a proactive role in developing, review, and strengthen your child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP)

Fostering your child’s independent decision-making through our Child Voice model and resources

Receive a report tailored to your child and parenting style to use in Goal Builder, a resource you can bring to planning meetings or IEPs. It ensures that your child’s strengths and well-being are embedded in planning for good outcomes.

This program is also ideal for parents planning their child’s transition to school.

What is our Child Voice model?

Learn more about this initiative acknowledged by Australian and international academics, parents of children with a disability and early childhood professionals in our blog.

This program is for

Parents, primary carers, and family members of primary school-aged children—or children transitioning to school—who have a developmental delay or disability. We encourage registration with a partner, co-parent or co-carer, as working together leads to the best benefits.

Let’s talk about… Building relationships for a thriving family
2026-09-17 20:00 - 21:30
Let’s explore how to foster positive family outcomes through relationship health.

Our relationships shape many of the moments we share as a family. One of the most important is the relationship we have with our partner. Like anything important, it can need a little time and attention to stay strong.

With the busyness of daily life, it’s easy for connection to slip into the background. This session offers a chance to pause, reflect and reconnect with what matters most to you, your relationship and your family.

When parents feel supported and connected, it can have a positive flow-on for the whole family. Communication plays a big part in this, along with understanding what helps you feel close, heard and on the same page.

This workshop offers practical ideas and a positive space to reflect, refresh and strengthen your connection as you move towards your shared hopes for your family.

Come along to discuss and explore:

Simple ways to reflect on what’s important to you

How to build a shared vision for your relationship and family

The Relationship T.H.R.I.L.L.S. framework

You’re welcome to join in as much or as little as feels right for you. There is no expectation to share personal experiences with the group.

*This session was previously named “Relationship growth”

The ‘Let’s talk about…’ sessions are designed by families for families to discuss various topics and learn together. They are facilitated by trained parent-peer workers raising a child with developmental delay or disability.
