Sometimes you have to take a leap to discover what someone is capable of. AAC is powerful, I have seen children speak for the first time aged 10 using communication systems like this, it is truely life changing for everyone.

ARFID is a newly recognised eating disorder, which became an official diagnosis for adults and children in 2013. For 12-year-old Alex*, the diagnosis came as a relief after years bouncing around the medical system.

I received a lovely message from a client who recently graduated from speech today, this is why I love what I do!

I hope you and your family are well 😊

A brief email to let you know that XX participated in Rostrum this term at XX School. She did everything herself - we were essentially banned from any visibility on the topic, research, preparation etc etc.

She made it through as her class representative, then as the representative for the year 3 cohort. Today she delivered her speech (which we had never heard before) at the school final. xx said we weren't allowed to come and see it, so we hid behind the emergency exit doors and at least got to hear it haha.

We are incredibly proud of where she started from, to what she was able to do today. No doubt she will continue to grow in confidence from here.

Thank you for all your work, care and support with XX.

Warm regards, XX x

May we strive to remember in those difficult moments of parenting

There are many reasons why a child may behave a certain way. Take the time to check in with your children about their feelings!

Teachers and Speechies - a match made in heaven! 🫶

Speech pathologists champion phonics and increased presence in schools as key to addressing Australia's reading crisis.

This change is happening in the ACT too 👏

A reading revolution at a small, disadvantaged public school in regional Victoria could provide the blueprint for turning around alarming literacy rates in Australia's 10,000 primary schools.

Change is happening, slowly but surely..

Literacy standards are rising in schools that emphasise the sounding-out of words, but education systems are divided over the focus on phonics.

Jackson suffers from apraxia which means he was unable to communicate through speech with anybody else, but he is now able to speak and communicate through the actions of a raft of people, particularly himself, his mum, and Bron Conroy - and an app.

So proud of this little fella and his incredibly supportive family

Jackson's mum Cindy knew something was wrong - and she was right.

Be who you are, no matter what ❤️ schools were designed to produce employees during the Industrial Revolution, but that’s not everyone’s destiny
