25.01.2022 We wanted to let our current clients know that as of tomorrow all of our Speech Pathologists will be wearing masks or facial shields (for those children who are working on their articulation or who need to see more social information on our faces) in therapy sessions. We ask that parents who attend sessions also wear masks. Children under 12 years of age will not be asked to wear a mask. We will continue to use and provide hand sanitizer, to call you when we are ready for you... to enter the clinic, will take your temperature upon entry, will sanitise surfaces between sessions and will keep physical distance. Whilst we are currently continuing face to face sessions, we do urge those families who are able to attend sessions using the Telehealth model to strongly consider this. The health of the families we work with and the Interact staff is paramount at the current time. We thank the families who have contacted the clinic to let us know when a family member is unwell. We want you to know that we are making all clinical management decisions upon advice from the DHHS and Speech Pathology Australia. Please take care See more

25.01.2022 Back when social media was so much simpler! In our role developing childrens social communication we are spending so much more time in sessions discussing texting etiquette, social media safety and determining what the expected and unexpected behaviours are around technology use.

24.01.2022 Now more than ever! Thank you for the reminder Dr Justin Coulson!

23.01.2022 Isn’t this true? We work with so many awesome parents who are supporting their children to be the best they can be. We see you and we’re here to help!

23.01.2022 A nice little reminder

22.01.2022 Please be so so careful and knowledgeable about your child’s app use and follow Susan McLean for leading advice/ information about the cyber space. It appears this video starts as a cat video so younger children may see this vision by accident.

21.01.2022 Happy weekend everyone. With the COVID numbers increasing, its never been more important to physically distance and get those masks happening! Carers/ parents take care of yourselves as much as you can. The weather looks beautiful this weekend- get some sun on your faces and some caffeine/ wine/chocolate (whatever meets your needs) in x

17.01.2022 Relax and restore your energy this Sunday. This week is going to be a big one for many families with the remote learning reality really kicking in. Anyone else noticed their water intake drop with the increase of mask wearing or that you are needing longer showers? Please take care x

16.01.2022 Always good to hear from Susan. This game has popped up a few times over the last couple of weeks in our therapy sessions. Information is power as you make your parental decisions around the tech choices for your children.

15.01.2022 To all of our parents who today pop on their education hats, and to all of the teachers and support staff who pop on their digital teaching hats we say- thank you and youve got this!

14.01.2022 Were so lucky to work with some awesome dads. Happy Fathers Day!

14.01.2022 We love developing a childs grammatical skills so they can produce sentences that make sense. Heres a great chart on the development of pronouns.

Our goal is that every child we work with are developing their communication skills so that they do this in a functional, meaningful and empowering way to meet their everyday needs.

13.01.2022 Coronavirus through a childs eyes. Ask your child the questions and have a giggle, not only now but in a memory a year from now: Heres a 6 year old response! ... 1. What is the Coronavirus? A germ. It spreads and its very not good. 2. Who is the prime minister? I dont know. It might be Baby Trump? 3. How many days have we been in lockdown? 5 days it feels like 100! 4. Do you want to go back to school? Yes- cause I love learning. 5. Who is the first person you are going to hug when lockdown is over? Nana, Brooke, Archer, Lachie, Trent 6. Where is the first place you want to go? Ice cream shop and SupaTramp 7. What do you think we can do to get rid of the corona Virus? Do what were supposed to do. Wear masks, stay healthy and stay calm. 8. How did the Coronavirus start? I dont know. From germs from other people. 9. If you had to wear protective clothing to help you what would it be? A mask, gloves and social gear! 10. Are you enjoying lockdown? Not really cause not many shops are open. I do get to spend time with my mummy. Thats great

12.01.2022 Here is one of Amys clients using AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) to communicate. This client has a diagnosis of Quadriplegia Dystonia (Cerebral Palsy) and currently uses Grid 3 on his iPad with a key guard. He has been working on extending his sentence length and complexity as well as his spelling skills so he is able to use predictive text for more efficient communication. Amy is proud of how far he has come over the last couple of years! https://drive.google.com//1JLoHr9Xo7iBrkJHx3Le4GqQ0ec/view

12.01.2022 Lets do this! Monday morning remote learning/ working/ parenting/ self care- youve got this and its sunny outside!

11.01.2022 This is a really important message. Big feelings for our children as they process this really tough year. As adults, were having good/ bad days- lets not forget to acknowledge our children having to process this craziness with less vocabulary to express themselves and a significant loss of meaningful play/ social experiences with their peers x

11.01.2022 I’m not sure if working = a day to myself but not multitasking the remote learning/ parenting/ household bores (and the working) made all of last week feel very, very strange. Anyone else notice they missed the incidental chats of having their children at home? Here’s to a calmer week as we all adjust to the newest of the new normals!

11.01.2022 An amazing initiative from Bethany to support you if you need someone to talk to.

10.01.2022 I just couldnt resist this one! Be kind and gentle to yourselves as you process todays new COVID 19 announcements. Please reach out to your family and friends if you need support

02.01.2022 Speech Pathology Australia supports Developmental Language Disorder Awareness Day on Friday 16 October because more light needs to be shed on a hidden condition... that affects on average two children in every classroom. DLD is a condition that causes difficulties with speech, language understanding, communication, and reading (with an associated high risk of dyslexia). Developmental Language Disorder is now the accepted term for language difficulties where the language disorder has no other differentiating or influencing condition (e.g. the absence of Autism, Down Syndrome, Fragile X, etc.). The term DLD describes children who are likely to have a language problem that endures into middle childhood and beyond; without diagnosis and specialist support this condition has a significant impact on their everyday social interactions and schooling. If you are concerned a child you know has DLD, contact a speech pathologist. Find a speech pathologist via the Speech Pathology Australia website.> https://bit.ly/3k4PNjx

01.01.2022 Today we are following the advice of Speech Pathology Australia and following the fast changing PPE guidelines of DHHS. Our Speech Pathologists are wearing face masks and eye protection in the form of face shields within their speech therapy sessions. From Thursday onwards we are moving back to Telehealth so that we keep our clients safe and our staff safe. This will also mean that the children we work with get loads more social information from our faces!!! (Even though we think Ange is totally rocking this look!).
