The hand theory is a simple way to help you be more of a teacher than a tester in conversations with your child. It takes practice, but it’s worth it! 🤚✨

Asking too many questions can sometimes put pressure on children to talk. That’s why the ‘Four Comments for Every One Question’ hand theory works so well! Balance your interactions by making more comments to encourage natural, stress-free conversation and learning.

Here’s how to do it in everyday moments:
✔️ Name what your child is interested in
✔️ Talk about what your child is doing
✔️ Describe objects they use
✔️ Explain what’s happening around them
✔️ Recognise and talk about their feelings
✔️ Make connections to other experiences

Example:
Imagine you see a monkey. Instead of asking, “What’s that?” or “What noise does a monkey make?” count out 4 comments first:
1️⃣ “Look! There’s a monkey!”
2️⃣ “It’s swinging in the tree!”
3️⃣ “It has a long tail.”
4️⃣ “They like to eat bananas.”
❓ “What noise does a monkey make?”

Using this approach, you’re teaching your child so much more and filling them up with answers before asking questions. It’s an easy way to create richer conversations and support language development! 💬🌟

Today our team combined physical and mental wellness 🧘‍♀️on top of continued development and learning 📚, starting with some hot Pilates through before some professional development presentations by our wonderful SP’s 🤍

We learnt all about responsive feeding 🍰🍕, pathological demand avoidance (PDA), neurodiversity affirming approaches, take homes from the SPA conference, navigating the NDIS, efficient report writing and diagnosing Dyslexia vs Developmental Language Disorder 🔤🔠

Today was also an excellent time to reflect on everything we have achieved over the first half of the year, and continue to increase in our quality and efficiency of our business and work going into term 3 💭

We are beyond excited to apply all of this knowledge and information into our quality of services in the weeks to come! ☀️

Today we have officially farewelled our beautiful Speech Pathologist, Delna, as she ventures into her new and specialised career journey 🥹 Delna has been an imperative part of the Chatterbox team since its early days, almost 3 years ago! Her passion for speech sounds and disorders, ability to find great resources and ongoing support to all of our clinicians will be thoroughly missed - We thank Delna so much for everything she has supported us with and are excited to continue to hear all about her next chapter 🤍 We will all miss you!!!

✨ Milestone Monday! ✨

Let’s talk about communication milestones for 4-year-olds! 💬

At this age, your little one is becoming a confident communicator and showing off some amazing language skills. You might notice them:
🌟 Answering most questions about daily routines and familiar experiences
🌟 Understanding a range of “wh” questions — even about stories they’ve just heard
🌟 Using words like 'and', 'but', and 'because' to join ideas together
🌟 Asking lots of questions and using personal pronouns like he, she, me, and you
🌟 Starting to notice when words begin or end with the same sounds

Every child develops at their own pace — but these are exciting skills many 4-year-olds are building! 🧠🌱

DID YOU KNOW that some of our Speech Pathologists are qualified in providing initial and reviews for Oral Eating and Drinking Care Plans (OEDCP’s)? 🍑🍰🍕

We have capacity to offer appointments for OEDCP’s over the July school holidays, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We are more than happy to support clients that are receiving communication input elsewhere, and liaise with their therapists regarding mealtime outcomes and recommendations moving forward 🗣️

Please feel free to refer your child (or adult - yes, we can support with these too!) through to us at: www.chatterboxtherapy.com.au, and we can look at a timeslot for an appointment.

Our 50 billionth post for a very busy week - Today was bittersweet as we farewell our beautiful Speech Pathologist Molly, who will be continuing her Speech Pathology career in Port Augusta. Molly has been with us at Chatterbox since the third year of her Speech Pathology degree as an allied health assistant. We are beyond grateful for the 3 (and a bit) years we had Mol as a part of our team, and feel so fortunate that she chose her first few years of her career with us. We will miss you, your organisation and your stories so much Mol - we wish you all the best in your new role and know you will be amazing 🥰

Lots of love, the chatterbox team xx

After a few incredible days of Professional Development courses, day one of the Speech Pathology Australia Conference 2025 did not disappoint! 🙌 From exploring new research, resources and accessible content, to engaging Q+A panels, powerful lived experiences, and a special guest appearance from Maggie Beer — it’s been a day full of inspiration. We’re so proud to be part of a profession that supports meaningful communication across every stage of life. We’re excited as a team to hear the key takeaways from Olivia and Georgia next week! 💬🧠

🤩 A wonderful day of learning with the fabulous Rebecca Reinking from Adventures in Speech Pathology! 👄
Our team soaked up her incredible knowledge on how to navigate choosing appropriate phonological interventions, along with the many factors to address and keep in mind throughout both assessments and therapy sessions with our clients.
🧠💬 From evidence-based research to practical resources (plus a few fun movement breaks to consolidate our learning!) – we’re walking away feeling inspired, informed, and empowered.

Today our Speech Pathologists Tori, Georgia and Liv attended the “Identifying DLD, Universal Screening, and Progress Monitoring: Revolutionising Language Assessment in Schools” professional development, ran by the Language Dynamics Group.

We had the opportunity to explore a variety of assessments to support evidence towards formal diagnoses of Dyslexia and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), as well as how we can best support schools around education towards a combined focus of language and literacy based group intervention to achieve optimal outcomes 💡🔡

🍴 Let’s talk about building communication skills in the kitchen! 🗣️✨

Everyday routines like cooking are full of opportunities to support your child’s speech and language. While you’re prepping meals, you can:

▪️ Build vocabulary by naming ingredients and actions
▪️ Practice following directions with simple cooking steps
▪️ Encourage questions and chat about what you’re doing
▪️ Model speech sounds during playful food talk
▪️ Teach concepts & sequencing (first/next/last, hot/cold, big/small)
▪️ Practice cooking routines and teamwork — follow the recipe together and help with tasks like cleaning up

Simple moments = powerful learning. 🍓👩‍🍳💬
