As a National, not–for–profit organisation Variety transforms and improves the lives of thousands of children in need every year. We are committed to improving young lives from birth, right up until the age of 18.We have transformed young lives in a Variety of different and important ways! Last year alone, Variety granted over $12 million in appeals! Whilst that is a hugely impressive number, the effect that sum of money has had on children’s lives is truly immeasurable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider that many children do not enjoy the basic independence that most people take for granted; the freedom to walk, play and participate in everyday activities. With the funds raised from the Santa Fun Run, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Variety will be able to provide hundreds of children with the specialised mobility equipment they urgently need. Give children greater freedom this Christmas – it is a wonderful and priceless gift!&lt;br /&gt;As well as helping individual children, Variety gives a great deal of support to Intensive Care Units and health services across the country. Variety provides support where there is no government funding, so the need is urgent and the benefits are broad.&lt;br /&gt;Here are just some of the ways that our grants made a difference to children’s lives last year:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li class="even"&gt;$5.1m was granted to purchase wheelchairs and mobility devices for individual disabled children across Australia.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="odd"&gt;21 Liberty Swings were installed across Australia allowing disabled children to experience the sensation of being on a swing – a joy that we’re sure most people have taken for granted.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="even"&gt;Over $1.6m used to purchase urgently needed medical equipment for Children’s Hospitals around Australia.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Variety hopes to reach even bigger milestones and help a greater number of children this Christmas and your support of the Santa Fun Run will help us achieve this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Variety is proud to run on minimum administration costs, which means that every tax deductible dollar you raise goes directly to help the children.

Some of us learn best during a lecture - Auditory, some with notes - Visual, some people find it best to get in there and do the action - Kinesthetic. We all learn differently, this includes our children. As a child is developing they to are learning using all sorts of media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many children whether they have a learning difficulty, developmental delay or just transitioning&amp;nbsp;towards being a toddler will&amp;nbsp;benefit greatly from visual cues. Children&amp;nbsp;who are yet to figure out that the word “bathroom” is a place where we go to wash our hands, may instead&amp;nbsp;need to be&amp;nbsp;shown a visual picture of the&amp;nbsp;bathroom and a child washing their hands while you say, “Lets go to the bathroom and wash hands”. Together they can link the Visual cue with the Auditory words and the Kinesthetic action. Soon they will repond to the visual cue and or&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;Auditory request.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a link to fantastic webpage, there are&amp;nbsp;tonnes of pages of visual aids, including emotions, toilet&amp;nbsp;training, routines and thats only from the Early Childhood package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go on and check it out, every thing is&amp;nbsp;FREE to download and print out&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.visualaidsforlearning.com/"&gt;http://www.visualaidsforlearning.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy and fun learning&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3897452246321734711-8988425971518985627?l=atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8988425971518985627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/visual-learning-aids-for-children.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3897452246321734711/posts/default/8988425971518985627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3897452246321734711/posts/default/8988425971518985627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/visual-learning-aids-for-children.html' title='Visual Learning Aids for children'/><author><name>Happy Studying :) Atkinson Training &amp;amp; Development</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08103174591229429819</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='10' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B8DhYMJFKVY/THb9TAgMITI/AAAAAAAAAAY/Pm3sOV6KNFE/S220/CoverPage+header.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897452246321734711.post-7338966112018783028</id><published>2010-10-26T15:51:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2010-10-26T15:51:41.160+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Early Days</title><content type='html'>We all know that early intervention with young children works, i have found out about a program that provides mothers, fathers and carers of young children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) information and practical help regarding these conditions, it is called “Early Days”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early Days is a National Government Initiative developed by the Early Days Collaboration (which is a partnerships of different organisations with expertise in Autism and&amp;nbsp;parents) Parenting Research Centre is the National Coordinator of Early Days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early Days provide workshops for parents and carers of young chidren within the ASD for FREE!!!

to ensure high quality and consistent early childhood education and care across Australia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These changes will help providers to improve their services in the areas that impact on a child’s development and empower families to make informed choices about which service is best for their child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a class="ms-asset-internalBookmark" href="" id="keychanges" title="keychanges"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Changes will be made in key areas&lt;/h3&gt;The National Quality Framework will set a new National Quality Standard for early childhood education and care providers in Australia.&lt;br /&gt;The National Quality Standard will improve quality through:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;improved staff to child ratios to ensure each child gets more individual care and attention&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;new staff qualification requirements to ensure staff have the skills to help children learn and develop&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a new quality rating system to ensure Australian families have access to transparent information relating to the quality of early childhood education and care services &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the establishment of a new National Body to ensure early childhood education and care is of a high quality.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The new National Quality Framework will cover long day care, family day care, outside school hours care and preschools." &lt;a href="http://www.deewr.gov.au/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;www.deewr.gov.au&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.deewr.gov.au/Earlychildhood/Policy_Agenda/Quality/Pages/home.aspx"&gt;http://www.deewr.gov.au/Earlychildhood/Policy_Agenda/Quality/Pages/home.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;by calling the National Quality Framework hotline on &lt;span class="skype_pnh_print_container"&gt;1800 181 088&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="skype_pnh_container" dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span class="skype_pnh_mark"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;by emailing the Office of Early Childhood Education and Care at &lt;a href="mailto:ECECQuality@deewr.gov.au"&gt;ECECQuality@deewr.gov.au&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3897452246321734711-8002087874247137436?l=atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8002087874247137436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/national-quality-framework-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3897452246321734711/posts/default/8002087874247137436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3897452246321734711/posts/default/8002087874247137436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atkinsontrainingblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/national-quality-framework-for.html' title='National Quality Framework for Childcare'/><author><name>Happy Studying :) Atkinson Training &amp;amp;
