Speech pathologists make a difference every day by:
✨ Helping children find their first words and build friendships
✨ Supporting teens with confidence at school
✨ Assisting adults to communicate after illness or injury
✨ Ensuring safe eating and swallowing for all

💬✨ This we’re celebrating all the different ways people communicate!

From verbal language to AAC (like picture symbols and devices) and Key Word Sign (using signs alongside speech), there are so many tools that help people share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

✨ Every voice matters – whether it’s spoken, signed, symbol-based, or a combination. Let’s continue to celebrate and support all forms of communication 💜

🗣️✨ What is a language delay?

A language delay is when a child’s language skills develop more slowly than expected. This might look like:
🔹 Limited vocabulary for their age
🔹 Difficulty putting words together
🔹 Trouble understanding instructions
🔹 Not using gestures or signs to communicate

💡 The good news is, with the right support, children with language delays can make wonderful progress! Speech pathologists can provide strategies, activities, and resources to help children build their communication skills.

If you’re concerned about your child’s language development, reaching out early makes a big difference. 💜

Call us today on 02 9686 2306 to book a free 15 minute chat with one of our friendly speech pathologists.

🧠👄 What is CAS?
Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a motor speech disorder. Kids with CAS know what they want to say, but their brain has difficulty planning and coordinating the movements needed to speak clearly.

It’s not caused by muscle weakness - it’s about brain-to-mouth coordination.

🧩 Children with CAS might:
* Have trouble saying longer or more complex words
* Be hard to understand
* Leave out or mix up sounds
* Struggle more when trying to speak on demand

🌱 With the right support and lots of practice, children with CAS can make progress.

It’s easy to get stuck in fear when it comes to protecting our children. But knowledge is power and prevention starts early, in age-appropriate, everyday moments 📚 These are our go-to books for starting safe body conversations with little ones aged 3+. They gently teach body boundaries, consent, and trusted adults — without fear or overwhelm. We’d love to hear any other recommendations in the comments!

Some kids can spend hours focused on games or drawing - but struggle to sit through homework or follow simple instructions. 🎮📚
Does that mean they don’t have an attention problem? Not quite.

Attention is complex, and it looks different depending on what the task asks of the brain. 🧠✨
Let’s take a closer look at how attention really works-and how we can support kids who find it harder to focus on everyday tasks.

Understanding attention helps us respond with care, not criticism. 💛
When we support attention gently, we build confidence and connection.
