Michele Ricamato is coming to Australia.

In November 2026, Michele will be delivering a two-day, in-person workshop in Adelaide focused on understanding communication through a developmental, relationship-based, neuroaffirming lens.

Many communication assessments were developed for children who can sit, attend, and respond on cue.

But many children communicate differently.

They might:

• Shut down during assessment
• Use little or no spoken language
• Communicate through movement, behaviour, emotion, or play
• Show their understanding most clearly within a relationship

These children are often described as “hard to assess.”

Yet they are communicating all the time.

Michele’s work helps us see that communication more clearly.

Across the two days, we will explore how communication develops through regulation, connection, shared attention, and intention, and how to observe communication as it naturally occurs in play and everyday interaction.

This is in-person learning only.

If this approach aligns with your work, your values, or your experience as a parent, you can find full details here: https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/michele-ricamato-workshop/

Happy Chinese New Year.

Welcome to the Year of the Fire Horse.

The Fire Horse represents movement, courage and getting things done. It is about energy with purpose. Progress with direction. Action with intention.
At My Therapy House, we are always moving forward.

We are continually designing new programs, tools and resources to meet the real needs of our families. We listen. We reflect. We build. We grow.

Because children grow. Families grow. And we grow with them.

As a Fire Horse myself, I resonate deeply with this energy. I look ahead. I ask what more is possible. I think about how we can support parents, children, therapists and business owners to step into clarity and confidence.

This year will bring new learning opportunities. New programs. New conversations. New ways of seeing communication, identity and connection.

Watch this space.

We are just getting started.

If you are worried that your child is not talking, pause for a moment

Communication is more than words. It lives in the body, in movement, in play, in closeness, in moving away, in reaching back for you.

When we focus only on what is not there, we miss what is right in front of us.

At My Therapy House, we help you slow down and truly see your child for who they are.

When you understand their sensory world and their way of expressing themselves, pressure reduces, connection deepens, and communication begins to grow with intention. You feel proud. They feel seen. That is where real change begins.

We have immediate availability for speech and language assessments for children who love to move.

Children may be speaking or non speaking.

They may communicate through actions, behaviours, big emotions, or meltdowns.

At My Therapy House, our spaces are intentionally designed for children who move, explore, and play in their own unique ways.
We deeply understand that behaviour is communication.

It is a child’s way of telling us what they need, how they feel, and what is happening underneath.
If you would like to know more, you are welcome to book a free chat with one of our very experienced Speech Pathologists.

When a child feels unsafe, their body is in protection mode.
They are not being difficult. They are trying to cope.
When we slow down, connect, and create safety
emotional safety
sensory safety
relationship safety
the nervous system settles.
And when the nervous system settles, behaviour shifts naturally.
Not through control.
Not through consequences.
But through connection.
Safety first. Behaviour follows.
