Huge Day At Sunrise

by admin on February 17, 2012

It was a massive day this morning with a 3.30 am start as we headed to the beach to support a Variety event that was raising money for children with special needs.

The Channel 7 “Sunrise” show did a live cross to the Broadwater here on the Gold Coast to help promote the event, with weather presenter Grant Denyer leading the way and taking time to chat with everyone.

Tiffany, Maureen, Hayley and Grant work the camera!

2011 promOTing Better Living Expo

by admin on October 25, 2011

Just a quick heads up on a great Expo happening at the end of the week.

Occupational Therapy Australia Queensland division is presenting its inaugural promOTing better living expo in Brisbane on 28 & 29 October 2011 at the Mercure Hotel.

The promOTing better living expo is an opportunity to showcase the leaders of the OT profession as well as equipment manufacturers, service providers, allied health partners, government departments, professional development events, and more.

More Members Of The Public & Free

While the expo will prove to be a valuable source of information for all OTs, the event will appeal to the general community who will learn the benefits of using occupational therapists and prescribed equipment to enable them to live their lives to the full.

Hope you can make it along – we’ll be there in Stall # 1!

Be sure to stop by and say hello.

Regards

Tiffany and the team

The Freedom To Ride Your Very Own Bike!

by admin on October 19, 2011

Here at Special Needs Solutions we are constantly looking at ways to improve and expand our business.

In our recent survey we found you asked for more leisure products.

We have been working hard over the last 8 months to extend our product range to include bikes and trikes. In doing this we have forged a great relationship with Ken Vanstraelen from Freedom Concepts in Canada.

What is Freedom Concepts?

Since 1991, Ken Vanstraelen and his team at Freedom Concepts have developed a full line of therapy bicycles so everyone can experience the exhilaration of a good ride.

Not only are the bikes fun and funky, they also provide therapeutic benefits by gaining muscle strength, independence & higher self-esteem.
