Ever wondered what keeps our speechies smiling?

We asked Hannah and Kaitlin what they love most about working at NSP, and their answers made our day. 💛

From the families they support to the little wins in each session, it’s the heart of Newcastle that keeps them inspired.

Know someone who’d be a great fit?

We’re welcoming applications for a new speech pathologist to join NSP. 💬

Your baby’s communication is blossoming between 6–9 months! 🌼

This is when babbling turns into back-and-forth chats, giggles invite connection, and little gestures start to say so much.

See the key milestones, from babbling and gestures to early understanding and mimicking, and discover how every smile, sound, and shared glance builds the foundation for language.

💙 Every baby develops at their own pace.

Imitation is one of the first steps in developing communication skills, and the best part is that it can be a great deal of fun! 🧸✨

Here are three simple activities you can do at home to encourage speech and language development:

🪞 1. Simon Says
Builds listening skills and helps children follow directions while learning action words. (“Simon says touch your nose!” 👃)

🎭 2. Copycat Game
Join in your child’s play by copying what they’re doing, whether it’s lining up cars, stacking blocks, or caring for dolls. When we imitate their actions without adding pressure or changing the play, it shows acceptance, builds connection, and helps your child feel understood.

👯‍♀️ 3. Mirror, Mirror
Sit face-to-face and copy each other’s movements or sounds. This builds awareness, focus, and connection, all key ingredients for communication.

At Newcastle Speech Pathology, we use play-based strategies like these to help children connect, because all communication starts with connection. 💙
