10.05.2022 I love the inclusive range of toys available these days. Here is one of my little clients playing with a doll in a wheelchair. The client chose to role play the doll giving her friend (who has vision impairment), a ride up the ‘hill’ .

02.05.2022 Bluey and Bingo reckon masks are ok.

03.04.2022 Some very important advice .

23.01.2022 I am very excited to be telling this classic story in the these beautifully painted stones today .

22.01.2022 Some very important advice .

21.01.2022 We can definitely get too bogged down in ‘eye contact’. Maintaining eye contact can be extremely stressful for people on the spectrum. Sometimes we need to open our minds and broaden our expectations of communicative behaviours to suit all members of our community.

20.01.2022 This is such a beautiful example of allowing your young child to take a communication turn by creating a game routine and giving your child time to respond. Notice how the baby vocalises you keep the game going? So wonderful!

19.01.2022 This one is a shout out to all my amazing parents and care-givers. It’s not easy at times, but you are all doing an amazing job .

18.01.2022 As I work very closely with an amazing occupational therapist, I cannot agree with this more .

16.01.2022 I have been having lots of fun lately with the little ones in our online therapy sessions. Nothing stops play! This is just a little clip showing one of the many characters and activities that have featured in our play this week. Targeting wh- questions, vocabulary, description, sentences, reciprocity and fun!

14.01.2022 This is a lovely acknowledgement that being a special needs parent can be challenging. It is okay to have feelings of sorrow, anger or frustration sometimes and it is important to understand that your child may have those feelings too. Remember to look after yourself and above all, enjoy your precious and amazing children .

14.01.2022 Hello to all my lovely clients and families . These are certainly challenging times for us all and I am hoping that you are all keeping safe and comfortable. Due to the risks associated with the Covid -19 virus spread, I will not be doing face to face sessions for the time being. I am still here though and as keen as ever to support you all. This is me in my new home office where I’ll be offering speech pathology services online until the restrictions ease and it is safe t...o see clients face to face again. I will be contacting you all over the coming week to offer appointments, but please feel free to send me a message with any questions or concerns you may have. It is so important to stay connected during this difficult time and we are so fortunate that we have access to technology so that we can keep up our social contacts and even our therapies . Talk to you all soon and sending all my positive vibes your way xx. See more

13.01.2022 Such important insight here. School and friendships can be so difficult, heartbreaking and isolating for these kids and their families. Thanks for sharing Kylie .

13.01.2022 Here is a really beautiful example of how being in an inclusive environment is so positive for children of all backgrounds. In this childcare setting two children put this Elsa doll into another child’s standing frame and then proceeded to put her AFOs (ankle-foot orthoses) on. How gorgeous .

05.01.2022 I am very excited to be welcoming clients back to my new clinic space at 3 Eaglesfield St from tomorrow. For those who see her, don’t worry, Caroline the OT is right next door and we are both looking forward to seeing you all in person again. We will, of course, be following all of the COVID-19 safety and hygiene measures to ensure your safety. See you all soon !

05.01.2022 This is a perfect example of procedural expository discourse gone wrong . I often target this type of expository discourse (explaining how something is done) with my kids with verbal language difficulties. I might ask them to explain how to play a particular game to me as I though I had never heard of it and had no idea how to play it. As this video demonstrates, it is not actually that easy!

03.01.2022 Proud to be a language nerd . This diagram is great and shows some of the parts of language speech pathologists can help their clients with .

01.01.2022 AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) does not delay speech and language development and in fact can facilitate them. Being open to AAC can seriously improve communication outcomes for children and adults with a wide range of presentations.
