19.01.2022 Not all communication is speech. Around 1.2 million Australians have communication disability. Though, communication disability is largely invisible. Unseen an...d out-of-sight. That’s why during Speech Pathology Week (23-29 August), we strive to raise awareness of communication disability and the important work speech pathologists do to ensure every Australian is ‘communicating with confidence’. This short video highlights some of the many and varied ways Australians communicate. www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au/spw2020 #SPweek #SpeakUp4CommRights #WeSpeechies #SLPeeps #slp2B

It has been this way since Monday evening and we have been trying to get things back up and running, but so far without success. Apologies if you have been trying to get through. The problem will hopefully be rectified on Monday but if you need to get in touch please contact me on my mobile if you are a current client for via a Facebook message.... Thanks for your patience!

01.01.2022 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
