Last week, Chadni, Senior Speech Pathologist from the Early Start Australia Wembley Clinic, hosted a story time session at Cambridge Library in WA đź“š
It was a lovely opportunity to connect with the local community, with a fantastic turnout of children enthusiastically joining in songs, stories and a fun craft activity. It was a warm and interactive session that also allowed us to connect with parents, carers, and grandparents.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, we loved being part of such a joyful morning!

School holidays can be a valuable time to support continuity, routine, and progress in therapy!
With fewer school pressures and more flexibility, many children are able to engage more deeply and practice new skills in a relaxed environment — helping to sustain positive momentum in their therapy journey.

We were thrilled to welcome Katie Devlin, Senior Speech Pathologist from Early Start Australia Wembley, for a free parent drop-in session at Wembley Early Learning Centre.
Parents had the opportunity to ask questions about speech, language and communication development, as well as local allied health services and funding options.
As part of our collaborative approach to early intervention, we’re committed to connecting families with the right support at the right time.
These drop-in sessions offer a quiet, private space for parents to pop in and receive expert advice.
We love supporting our families and helping every child thrive 🧡
