Meet Cherie! 👋

Cherie is a Speech Pathologist with a passion for early intervention.

With experience across paediatric private practice and community settings, Cherie brings a neurodiversity-affirming, play-based approach that puts connection and family at the centre of everything she does.

She has a special interest in AAC and mealtime/feeding support, and a meaningful placement in the Northern Territory has shaped her deep appreciation for diverse communities and ways of communicating.

When she's not in the clinic, you'll find her camping, travelling, or making memories with family and friends. 🏕️🌏

We're so glad to have her on the Day by Day team! 💛

7 signs your child might benefit from Orofacial Myology 👄

Orofacial Myology (OM) focuses on the muscles of the face, mouth, and jaw that are essential for breathing, eating, speaking, and sleep.

Here are 7 signs to look out for:
✨ Mouth breathing or open mouth posture
✨ Tongue thrust or low tongue resting position
✨ Speech difficulties or unclear sounds
✨ Feeding or swallowing challenges
✨ Drooling beyond expected age
✨ Snoring or disrupted sleep
✨ Dental or bite concerns

These signs can sometimes be linked to how the muscles of the mouth and face are working together.

💛 The good news? With early support, we can help build strong, coordinated patterns for life through playful, practical, and individualised therapy.

At Day by Day, we focus on supporting the people around the child, so strategies can be embedded into everyday routines where progress really happens.

I’ve officially completed my Orofacial Myology training and am so excited to now be offering support in this area! Thanks so much to the gurus See you again in Bali! 🤞😉

This means we can further support children and families with:
👄 oral habits (thumb sucking, dummy use)
😴 sleep-disordered breathing
🗣️ speech sound development
🍽️ feeding and oral function

Growing our skillset means we can continue to provide holistic, evidence-based support for the amazing families we work with 💛

Also, it truly takes a village. Balancing study, business, and mum life isn’t a solo effort. I’m so grateful for my incredible team behind the scenes who keep everything moving, and for the support at home that makes it all possible.

And to the wonderful colleagues I’ve connected with across Australia through this course thank you for the inspiration, knowledge sharing, and community 🙌

Excited for this next chapter!

✨ Leveling up for our clients ✨

This week I have the absolute pleasure of attending training with the incredible team at Australian Orofacial Myology Collaboration and WOW 🤯

We are feeling so inspired by the depth of knowledge around breathing, oral function, airway, and how all of this impacts speech, sleep, feeding and overall development.

At Day by Day Early Intervention, we’re always committed to learning, growing, and bringing the best, evidence-based support to the children and families we work with 💛

This training has already got us thinking differently about assessment and therapy and we can’t wait to start integrating what we’ve learned into our sessions!

We’re so excited to welcome Sofia to the Day by Day Early Intervention team! 🎉

Sofia joins us as a new graduate Speech Pathologist, bringing so much enthusiasm, curiosity and passion for supporting children and families. We love the fresh energy and ideas new grads bring to the field, and Sofia has already shown how dedicated she is to learning and growing in early intervention.

Sofia will also continue her work as an experienced midwife, which means she brings an incredible understanding of families, early development and the journey of supporting children right from the very beginning. Such a clever and unique skillset to bring into our team! 👶✨

Families will quickly notice Sofia’s warm, calm and supportive nature, and how naturally she connects with both children and caregivers.

We feel very lucky to have her on board 💛

Please join us in giving Sofia a very warm welcome!

Therapy works best when it doesn’t stay in the therapy room.

We regularly collaborate with:
• Educators
• Early childhood teachers
• Support workers
• Centre directors
• Classroom teams

Why? Because skills generalise when everyone understands the goal.

We share:
✔ simple strategies that fit busy classrooms
✔ visual supports
✔ communication tools
✔ regulation strategies
✔ feeding and mealtime guidance

Our aim is always the same, build capacity in the caregivers so the child is supported everywhere.

That’s what “team around the child” really means.

We don’t treat “speech goals” and “OT goals.”

We support whole children.

Sometimes that looks like:
🗣 building clearer speech
🧠 supporting regulation
✋ strengthening fine motor skills
🤝 growing social confidence

And often?
It happens together.

When Speech and OT collaborate intentionally, therapy becomes more natural, functional and meaningful.

Because children don’t develop in silos and neither do we.

Some exciting learning ahead for our team

At Day by Day, we’re always looking for ways to deepen our support for the children and families we work with.

Over the coming months, our clinicians will be engaging in professional learning across:

🟡 Circles to Feeding ()
Helping us better understand the emotional, relational and sensory layers of feeding, not just the mechanics.

🟢 Orofacial Myology ()
Building knowledge around oral function and how it connects with feeding, breathing, regulation and communication.

🟣 PRECI Conference ()
Exploring relationship-based early childhood intervention that fits into real-life routines and everyday family moments.

So what does this mean for families?
It means therapy that is:
✔️ More holistic
✔️ More connected to real life
✔️ More supportive of feeding journeys
✔️ More grounded in relationships and participation

Because the best support grows through learning.

And we’re committed to bringing that learning straight back into our work with you!

Today’s role: Mum first, business owner second 🤍

It’s my son’s birthday today.

So if you happen to message and don’t hear back straight away, it just means I’m off being present for the little moments that don’t come back around.

At Day by Day, we support families to prioritise connection in everyday life, and I try to live that too.

I’ll always respond when I return.
Just not during birthday celebrations 🎂

Thank you for being part of a community that understands the balance between caring for families and caring for our own.
