This week is an opportunity to celebrate Deaf people and recognise the importance of creating accessible and inclusive communities.

At Flipper Academy, we understand that every child is different, including the way they communicate, learn and engage with the world around them.

For our team, getting to know each child and understanding their individual communication and learning needs is an important part of creating a supportive environment in the pool. 🐬

We work closely with families to understand what helps their child feel comfortable and engaged, so they can participate in our programs in a way that suits them.

Because every child deserves to feel welcomed, understood and included. 💙

NDIS-funded aquatic therapy so your child thrives!

Aquatic therapy is your child’s chance to build confidence, gain new skills and independence, whilst still experiencing joy!

Our physiotherapy-led sessions are tailored to your child's unique goals and needs. We proudly support self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants, helping children grow in confidence both in and out of the water.

Discuss your requirements with our team today.

World Physiotherapy Day is an opportunity to recognise the work physiotherapists do for individuals, families and communities, and today, we're celebrating our own Flipper physios!🐬

Did you know that Flipper Academy was founded by physiotherapist Chelsea?

Chelsea created Flipper with a vision to provide children with disability the opportunity to participate in aquatic programs through a physiotherapy-led approach.

Physiotherapy continues to be at the centre of what we do. Our physios are involved in assessing children, developing individualised programs, supporting our team and working closely with families throughout their time at Flipper. 💙

Happy World Physiotherapy Day to our team and physiotherapists across the community! ✨

Introducing PhysKids - paediatric physiotherapy specialists in SA.

Our Director, Chelsea, is about to open PhysKids, where we bring together specialist expertise across developmental physiotherapy, disability, orthopaedics, rehabilitation and complex care, allowing us to support children with a broad range of conditions throughout every stage of childhood.

That means your child can receive comprehensive, evidence-based care from one trusted team, without needing to visit multiple providers.

Rest assured, Flipper Academy remains exactly the same.

Appointments will open soon and will be available from October onwards. Get in contact with our PhysKids team today via www.physkids.com.au.

Supporting a child often means supporting the whole team around them.

At Flipper Academy, we know that many of the children and families we work with are also supported by speech pathologists and other allied health professionals. By working collaboratively with speech pathologists, we gain a better understanding of each child's communication strategies, helping us create a more supportive and responsive environment in the pool.

This collaborative approach helps us tailor our sessions to each child's individual needs while providing a more connected, family-centred experience.

This Speech Pathology Week, we'd like to recognise and thank the speech pathologists who work every day to support children and their families. Your dedication, expertise, and partnership make a meaningful difference to the children we support. 💙

Here's to celebrating the value of working together to help every child thrive.

This year's theme, 'stronger together, reminds us of the power of shared experiences, connection, and support in building a stronger brain injury community.

At Flipper Academy, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to participate in a supportive and inclusive environment where they feel welcomed, encouraged, and valued. Through our physiotherapy-led aquatic programs, we're proud to work alongside children, families, and the wider allied health community to help make that possible.🐬

We're stronger when we support one another, celebrate every child's unique journey, and create opportunities for all children to participate in ways that suit their individual needs.

This Brain Injury Awareness Week, we stand with children, families, carers, and professionals in raising awareness and fostering a more inclusive community, because we're Stronger Together. 💙
