Vania & Sam

Participating in a group ceramic painting workshop

Sam and Vania recently took part in a joint ceramic painting workshop within an occupational therapy setting. The session was designed to support fine motor development, encourage creative expression, and strengthen social interaction through a structured and meaningful activity. Both participants showed enthusiasm and active engagement throughout the workshop.

We enjoyed painting ceramics together and sharing creative ideas during the session.

Sam & Vania’s Creative Therapy Journey

 Sam and Vania have been involved in occupational therapy activities aimed at improving coordination, focus, and functional independence through hands-on experiences. The ceramic painting workshop offered them an opportunity to explore artistic expression while practicing precision, planning, and patience.At the beginning of the session, both participants needed some guidance to understand the materials and techniques. As the activity progressed, they became more confident in selecting colors, applying patterns, and completing their individual designs with increasing independence.The group dynamic played an important role in the session. Sam and Vania interacted positively, shared ideas, and encouraged each other throughout the activity. This supported not only their social skills but also their motivation and engagement.The experience helped enhance fine motor control, visual planning, and emotional expression in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. It also strengthened their ability to participate in structured group tasks.With continued involvement in OT-based creative workshops, Sam and Vania are progressing in their coordination, confidence, and collaborative skills.During her recent session, Vania attended the gym alongside her father and her occupational therapist, Bita Farahani. With professional guidance, she participated in structured exercises designed to support her physical health, coordination, and overall wellbeing.Bita provided tailored support throughout the session, ensuring each activity matched Vania’s needs and abilities. This personalised approach helps Vania stay engaged, motivated, and confident while exercising.The session was not only beneficial for Vania’s physical development, but also a positive and enjoyable experience. Being supported by both her family and a qualified professional created a comfortable and encouraging environment.At Verity Support, we believe that working alongside trusted professionals like Mental Health OT Australia allows us to deliver high-quality, participant-focused support. For Vania, this means making real progress while feeling supported every step of the way.
