Life’s transitions, such as moving from kindergarten to primary school or to high school, are milestones that bring both excitement and challenges. Each stage introduces new routines, social expectations, and academic demands.
At LiveBig, we understand that these changes can feel overwhelming for children and families, which is why we offer dedicated support from our expert clinicians to guide participants through these key phases in life.
Our multidisciplinary team includes occupational therapists, psychologists, and speech pathologists, all experienced in helping children adjust to new environments. By taking a personalised, family-centred approach, we ensure that each participant receives the specific support they need. This collaborative process includes working with families, schools, and educators to create strategies that ease the transition and promote success post-transition.
Preparing for new learning environments from kindergarten to primary school
For children moving from kindergarten to primary school, the change from a play-based environment to formal schooling can be significant.
Our occupational therapists help children build independence with tasks like dressing, managing their school bags, and eating lunch independently. We also work on fine motor skills, such as writing and cutting, to prepare them for classroom activities.
Our speech pathologists focus on developing communication skills, helping children interact confidently with teachers and peers. Additionally, our psychologists provide emotional support, helping children manage any anxiety or nervousness that may arise when adapting to new environment.
Supporting growth from primary to high school
As children transition from primary to high school, the challenges shift to increased academic expectations, social changes, and the need for greater self-management.
Our clinicians help participants develop organisational skills, including managing their workload, keeping track of assignments, and adjusting to more structured schedules.
Socially, this transition can also bring pressure to fit in. Our team works with participants to build confidence, enhance communication skills, and manage peer relationships through tailored approaches that align with each individual’s needs.
For those who experience stress or anxiety during these transitions, our psychologists provide strategies for emotional regulation and coping with change.
LiveBig’s commitment to success and independence
At LiveBig, we believe that every individual deserves the support they need to navigate life’s transitions successfully. Our clinicians are committed to ensuring each participant is equipped with the tools and strategies to adapt and thrive, no matter the challenges they face.
By focusing on their individual strengths and areas for growth, we help children develop the skills they need for independence, confidence, and success at each stage of their education journey.
