Things are getting a bit spooky at Upper Murray Speech Pathology this Halloween! The clinic’s been taken over by cheeky bats and creepy spiders. If you’re out Trick-or-Treating in the area, swing by and help us chase them off—costumes and scary faces welcome! 🎃🦇🕷️

Day 4: Empowerment through communication
Speech pathologists help people express
their needs and make choices.

Every day as a speech pathologist, I’m reminded how powerful communication is for independence and happiness. Nothing beats hearing a family say their loved one can now choose what they want for breakfast, or watching a client use their device to say “no” for the very first time. Empowerment starts with having a way to communicate!
