✨ HUGE thank you to all of my wonderful clients and their families who joined today’s celebration! ✨

It was incredible to see so many happy faces—clients, siblings, and parents all connecting, chatting, and enjoying time together. 💬💖

I’m beyond grateful to be part of your communication journeys. Over the past year, I’ve been so proud of the progress each of you has made, and today’s smiles and laughter filled me with joy and pride. 👏

I was so busy mingling and having fun that I didn’t even manage to take photos—but the memories are more than enough! Here’s one someone took of my wee girl and I before more of the balloons went missing from the arch. 😅

From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU ALL for making today (and this past year) so special and for choosing and trusting me to support your children’s communication skills. 💕

🌟 The Most Wonderful Time of the Year 🌟

Today, one of my clients made their very first functional request using a big button—asking for none other than this sparkling snow globe! Not only did he make multiple functional requests, but he also took intentional turns with me—our very own game where mum wasn’t allowed to join in 🤣.

Truly the most magical time of the year ❄️ I can’t wait to see how he progresses with this! 🌟

🗣️Developmental Language Disorder🗣️

🌟 Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a hidden but common condition that affects how people understand and use language.

👧 Children with DLD may find school, friendships, and learning more challenging.
👩 Adults with DLD can experience difficulties in work, relationships, and everyday communication.

✨ I bring first-hand expertise as a RADLD Ambassador and years of experience supporting families and individuals with DLD.

💡 I’m planning an information session for families to learn more, share experiences, and find support.

👉 Are you a parent of a child with DLD or suspected DLD, or an adult with DLD yourself?

💬 Let me know if you’d be interested in joining!

🎄✨ Happy December! ✨🎄

The countdown is on—just 3 weeks until winter break, and we’ve got a busy, festive month ahead at The Speech Hut!

📅 Over the next few weeks, we’ll be wrapping up 95 more therapy appointments and 2 initial assessments…all while sprinkling in plenty of festive-themed activities to keep building play, language, speech sounds, and fluency across all ages.

🎉 This weekend is extra special: I’m hosting a celebration to mark one year of The Speech Hut! 🥳 I’m inviting all clients past and present to join me in saying a giant thank you and celebrating not just the business milestone, but the incredible progress and successes they have achieved this year. I can’t wait to see you all!! ❄️ 🥳

Today I said goodbye and good luck to another amazing client who has mastered all of his speech therapy goals!

I first met him in January and since then he has learned 8 new sounds — and has generalised every single one into conversational speech! 💬✨
That is HUGE and he should be so, so proud of himself.

I will miss our fortnightly sessions:
🔹 practicing new sounds
🔹 chatting about his fun adventures
🔹 and of course… our competitive games of Uno😂

Good luck, dude — you’ve smashed it!!! I’m so proud of you🌟🙌

✨ Yesterday we celebrated a milestone — my brilliant student from QMU, finished up after 10 weeks of placement at The Speech Hut!

Having a student is always a treat. You get to build relationships with upcoming professionals who are eager to learn, and in return, they bring fresh perspectives, creative therapy ideas, and the latest evidence-based knowledge. I’ll never forget the impact my own clinical placements had on me as a student, so I strive to make my students feel welcome, supported, and coached while they’re with me.

My Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to feel a little quieter now… but not for long! We’ll be welcoming a new student to the team in just a few months, and I can’t wait to continue sharing, learning, and growing together. 🌱💬

Join me in wishing her good luck on her final placement before she embarks on her search for a job as a newly qualified SLT! 🌟

🥳 Happy Birthday to The Speech Hut! 🥳

It’s hard to believe that today marks the closing of my first year of business! Next week will be exactly one year since I held my very first parent consults as an independent SLT after relocating back to Scotland from the US. In that first week, I nervously took 16 consult calls—and I’m so grateful that each of those families trusted me to assess their child, with 14 moving into therapy. One year later, I’m still supporting 8 of those wonderful families, along with so many more, and my heart is full 💜.

Since then, The Speech Hut has grown beyond what I imagined:

• 🌟 Supported 80 (yes 80!!) paediatric and adult clients across Fife and the central belt with more booked in for assessment in the coming weeks
• 🏡 A move from mobile SLT, working out of my car boot, to my own customised premises (cue the Speech Hut, thanks to my amazing husband for customising this for me!), while keeping the flexibility to see clients where they feel most comfortable
• 🤝 Collaborations with parents, education staff, independent AHPs, and NHS colleagues
• 🎓 Hosted a student placement, with more to come!

I cannot thank my clients and families enough for trusting me with you/your children’s communication journeys. Every milestone and every bit of progress, has been amazing to see and be part of, and I’m so proud of every single one of you!

I can’t wait to celebrate with you all at our 1 Year Celebration Event on 7th December! 🎂🎈

✨ Here’s to year two—I’m so excited for what is to come!

✨ Celebrating Milestones at The Speech Hut ✨

Yesterday one of my clients shared about a very special play date with a new friend! He came into his session absolutely buzzing with excitement, and I loved hearing all about it.

💬 He told me the qualities he values in friendship—having things in common, being fun, and sharing perspectives. He shared facts about his new friend and explained how he learned them by using his growing conversational and communication skills.

🌟 I’m so proud—not only that he enjoyed his play date, but that he was able to share his experience with confidence!

To reflect on his feelings, we used our new cat emotions board 🐱. He identified that after his first meet‑up he felt:

• Happy 😺
• Excited 😸
• Confident 🐈

Moments like these remind us that communication isn’t just about words—it’s about connection and mutual enjoyment! ❤️

🌟 Are you a young adult working in a busy environment and finding it hard to keep up with the language demands of your job? 🌟

Do you ever struggle with things like:
🧠 Processing requests or instructions
📝 Organising tasks or following complex directions
💬 Responding verbally on the spot
📄 Making sense of written documents
✉️ Formulating emails or writing reports
🤝 Interacting with colleagues, clients, or customers
📅 Participating in meetings

Did you know a Speech and Language Therapist can help with all of these?

I’m exploring the idea of offering a support group for young adults who experience these challenges.
The group would be a space to:
✨ Share experiences with others who understand
✨ Learn strategies to support communication at work
✨ Build confidence in everyday workplace tasks

I’d love to hear from you if you—or someone you know—might benefit. Please feel free to reach out with any comments or questions, and let me know if you’d be interested! 💬🗳️

It’s been a busy Monday at The Speech Hut! Today was packed with playful learning and storytelling!
✨ Our clients explored Panda Speech’s amazing adapted lift-a-flap books—boosting topic vocabulary, building sentences, answering yes/no questions, and following directions.
🐛 “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” made an appearance too, helping us dive into sequencing, before/after concepts, and even some early maths!
🧱 Meanwhile, other clever minds got inventive with Blockaroos—constructing imaginative contraptions while smashing their articulation goals!

And the fun continues…
💬 I’m lucky to have my brilliant SLT student with me tomorrow AND Thursday. It’s such a joy to have a passionate, likeminded future therapist join my team!

This afternoon I took a break from clients and admin to catch up with the brilliant Kirsteen Grieve at her beautiful Movement Physiotherapy bothy (and a delicious lunch!). We chatted all things private AHP practice—sharing insights, ideas, and exciting possibilities for collaboration.

Kirsteen’s passion for paediatric physiotherapy is so inspiring and it was amazing to get her wisdom on running a successful business! If you’re not already following her, go check out her page—highly recommended for anyone seeking expert, child-centred care!

Working as a sole practitioner again can get lonely sometimes! Experienced specialist therapists in Scotland are few and far between and we tend to be very busy people! So I was absolutely delighted to finally meet up in person with paediatric speech and language therapist .zoe_roxburgh_slt who shares my passion for supporting children and families as effectively as possible using modern and innovative approaches. A time for supporting each other and sharing experiences of building and running a successful business single handedly and the challenges this brings! But also discussing a vision of shared working which could be so beneficial to many of our families including those living more remotely across Scotland and beyond! So keep a look out for future announcements and give Zoe’s page a wee follow. K 😊
