Special Needs featured in Source Kids Spring Edition

September 15, 2016 by Special Needs Solutions

We love Source Kids magazine. If you haven’t already discovered it, this beautiful quarterly publication offers advice and support for families who have children with special needs, in a free online format (or if you prefer the printed kind, 12 month subscriptions are a tiny $25).

That’s why we were tickled when we saw some of our products featured in the Spring 2016 edition.

Find a write up on our Rifton Hi-Lo Activity Chair and Special Tomato Hi-Lo MPS seating system on page 28, and the Discovery Series DCP12 on page 5.

sourcekids-2

These are just a few amongst many other amazing products that make life easier for children with special needs.

So pop the kettle on, put your feet up, and open a copy of Source Kids on your device this afternoon. You deserve it.

Did someone say roadtrip!!!??

September 5, 2016 by Special Needs Solutions

There is nothing we love more than hitting the road and visiting some amazing towns and bringing our range of speciality products to the community.

We met so many beautiful people along the way, saw the most incredible countryside, drank delicious coffee and encountered lots of furry friends from cats and dogs, to cows and horses!

Here are some happy snaps from our most recent trip!

We know how important it is for you to be able to try out paediatric products before you look into buying them and there is nothing we love more than seeing the joy our products can bring to children and their families. Our last road trip around Queensland had an excellent response and we have had so many families from NSW requesting we visit! That is why this August we will be heading south to share our fantastic product range with everyone in NSW!

Our August road show will be stopping at:

Warwick
Stanthorpe
Tenterfield
Glenn Innes
Armidale
Coffs Harbour
Grafton
Casino
Lismore
Ballina

Make sure you check out the wonderful range and get in contact with us to arrange a trial by the 17th August.

We can’t wait to meet you all and show you the brilliant products we have to share with Australia, including the brand new Firefly by Leckey range!

Get ready for the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Queensland

July 13, 2016 by Special Needs Solutions Leave a Comment

The YFS NDIS Get Ready team are an organisation based in Queensland that are helping people get ready for the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Queensland.

Working primarily in the Gold Coast, Redlands and Logan areas, they will be delivering free public information forums and one-on-one home visits at no cost to ensure that you are prepared.

Families in the Gold Coast, Logan and Redlands area will begin to transition into the new scheme as of the 1st July 2018, however, the pre-planning process will start with local area coordinators from the 1st January 2018. This means the next 17 months are extremely important for people with disabilities, their families and carers to learn as much as they possibly can about the scheme before the planning process begins.

You can download a copy of the YFS NDIS forum brochure which contains a schedule of the free forums YFS will be hosting over the next few months.
