Learning to communicate needs and wants in an appropriate way is one of the many challenges that children face.
Children learn to look after themselves, others, their environment and develop the underlying skills necessary to work, live and enjoy life.
Communication is the process of being able to understand and to be understood, both verbally and nonverbally.
Young children learn through play. By the time they reach school they will have been exposed to countless crucial concepts that provide the foundation for later learning and literacy.
It is important to encourage your child’s interest in fine motor tasks and drawing from an early age.
Physical activity including sport and fitness has a significant role in your child’s life, having a substantial impact on your child’s overall health and wellbeing.
Movement is a fundamental part of life and significantly contributes to a person’s health and wellbeing.
The position in which you hold your body and limbs when standing, sitting or lying down is referred to as your posture.
At 1 Stop we recognise that each child is unique in the way that they learn to move, grow and gain skills.

Through the Dr Sue Charlton AM Memorial Sub‑Fund, fully subsidised infant hip screening is now available for babies in Mount Gambier through a partnership between Stand Like Stone Foundation and @1stoppaediatricservices.
Sue advocated for hip scans in the first two weeks after birth to give children the best possible start in life through early identification, prevention and intervention. By removing financial barriers and increasing awareness, this initiative has the potential to help local babies access support at a critical stage of development.
What makes this particularly special is that the generosity of our community is now being transformed into a practical and sustainable benefit that will continue to support families well into the future.
This initiative also represents an important milestone for Stand Like Stone Foundation as the first project delivered through our Community Charity Trust, demonstrating how community foundations can work alongside partners to directly activate local solutions to community needs.
A huge thank you to the Charlton family, 1 Stop Paediatric Services and everyone who contributed to the fund. Together, we are ensuring Sue's passion for children's health continues to make a meaningful difference.

Sue Charlton was a skilled practitioner who generously shared her passion , knowledge and expertise. She has left an amazing ongoing legacy . How good it is to see her work remembered in this way . Thankyou to her family for supporting her in her work and in this initiative .
Such an amazing woman. I distinctly remember going to see her with our son, lost not knowing what to do with him. Tired, exhausted and utterly bewildered about parenting. In one session- she had fixed the problem no one could. It was amazing. Our son slept 13 hrs straight for the first time in months. I’m so proud of the affect she had on our daughter as well showing her exercises, bones and casts used for kids. She is now a new grad physio herself. An incredible person with such knowledge, experience and lovely nature.

1 STOP PAEDIATRICS IS STEPPING UP THIS SEPTEMBER! 🩵
This September, our Physio & OT team are swapping therapy shoes for walking shoes and taking on Steptember! 👟
As a team, we’re aiming to smash 60,000 steps EVERY DAY - that’s a whopping 1.8 MILLION STEPS across the month! 🤯
But we’re not just walking for the steps…
We’re walking to raise vital funds for babies and children with cerebral palsy, helping support research, early intervention and brighter futures for children and their families.
From walking between sessions, chasing after little ones, squeezing in lunchtime laps and probably taking the long way to the coffee machine - every step counts!
👟 60,000 steps a day
👟 1.8 million steps in September
👟 One team
👟 One big goal
👟 All for babies and children with cerebral palsy 💙
We’d love your support! Donate, share, cheer us on or simply ask us how our step count is going! Donate today at www.steptember.org.au/fundraisers/1STOPPAEDIATRICS
Let’s get stepping! 🚶♀️

A few of us did this one year and it is certainly a challenge!! Great job guys 💪💙
The hardest part of the session? Sometimes it’s getting the shoes on.
Transitions can be really challenging for children with ADHD, ASD and anxiety - especially when they’re moving from something engaging and predictable into “okay, it’s time to go.”
This is why structure, routine and pre-warning matter so much!
Giving children clear expectations and time to prepare for a transition can help reduce overwhelm, support regulation and make those final few minutes feel much more manageable.
And sometimes… even with all the preparation in the world, the shoes are still our hardest part 😉

Respectful maternal and newborn care starts with listening.
Too often, women & parents are excluded from decisions & treated with contempt or abuse.
This MUST end.
Every woman & parent has the right to:
✔️ Clear communication
✔️ Informed consent before any medical procedure
