Your child can absolutely learn more than one language. 🌟🌍
And no—it won’t delay their speech.
Multilingualism is a strength.
A connector.
A cultural superpower.

MYTH: “Two languages will overwhelm them.”
FACT: Children’s brains are wired to learn multiple languages from the start.

If you speak another language at home, keep going! Your child deserves access to every language that builds connection, identity, and belonging. 💛

🌟🤩She’s back and we couldn’t be happier! 🤩🌟

We are beyond excited to welcome our Senior Speech Pathologist, Monica, back from maternity leave!

Not only have we missed her wealth of knowledge and passion for learning, but also her caring nature, calm presence and the way she uplifts everyone around her. Monica brings so much heart, expertise and dedication to our team- and to every family she supports. 💛

Monica holds a Diploma in Auslan 🤟 and is passionate about supporting the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, as well as all things AAC. She loves empowering families through parent coaching and bringing confidence to every communication journey. ✨

Outside of work you’ll catch her op-shopping for hidden treasures, relaxing with a paint-by-numbers set, or enjoying good food with friends. She’s also a proud new mum and dog-mum to her pup, Fish! 🐶

We are so thrilled to have her back at Chat Well, our team and families already feel the positive difference! 🌟

At Chat Well, our speech pathology team loves supporting children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS). 💛

Kids with CAS know exactly what they want to say- their brain just needs extra support planning the movements for clear speech. 🧠➡️👄

Through motor-based practice, meaningful words, and lots of positive, play-filled repetition, we help build confident, functional communication skills. ✨

✨ At Chat Well Allied Health, we believe every brain deserves to be supported, celebrated and understood not “fixed.”

Creating a neuro-affirming therapy space means:
🌈 Celebrating neurodiversity as a natural part of being human.
💬 Honouring all communication styles: speech, AAC, typing, silence - every voice matters.
🪴 Designing sensory-safe spaces with choice, comfort and calm.
🤝 Supporting autonomy, self-understanding and client-led goals.
💫 Respecting stimming and movement as regulation, not disruption.
🎨 Adapting therapy approaches to fit the person, not the other way around.
💗 Building connection through curiosity, inclusion and care.

🌟 A special note:
We’re always learning- and we believe the best way to grow is with our neurodivergent community, not just for it. By seeking ongoing feedback and fostering genuine belonging, we aim to create a space where every person feels seen, valued and safe to be authentically themselves.

Every child deserves to feel confident communicating and with the right support, children with DLD can thrive 🌟
