My name is Margaret Sacco and I have worked as a Speech Pathologist in the north-west for over 15
years in primary and secondary schools as well as private practice. I am passionate about education,
supporting and promoting the diverse learning needs of children and advocating for children and their
families. I have experience working with children from a range of needs and backgrounds, including
developmental language disorder, intellectual disability, learning disabilities such as dyslexia, social
communication, autism spectrum disorder and English as an additional language (EAL). My special
interests include oral language, literacy, articulation and social communication. My approach is holistic
and centred on an agent-training model that aims to equip families and schools with resources, practical strategies and innovative ways to support children’s learning progress. My work in schools has provided me with a strong understanding of the curriculum, experience with various learning and teaching pedagogy and unique skills across all tiers of intervention. Seeing children reach their full potential and thrive in their learning is what continues to drive me in my work!
