168 hours in a week…most kids spend an hour a week (sometimes less, sometimes more) with a speech therapist.

We’re not there the other 167 hours! ⏳

Someone’s gotta be trained in what we’re working on in speech therapy.

For some kids, having parents sit in the sessions works great.

For other families, they might sit out because it’s their preference or maybe their child focuses better without their caregivers present.

BUT - in all cases, whether a caregiver is sitting in the session or not, training and keeping families up to date with everything that’s happening in therapy is a critical step in making progress.

I’ve been coaching parents in therapy sessions for over 15 years, and have come up with a very effective framework for parent coaching. 💪🏻

Want to learn my parent coaching framework?

Join me for next week’s episode of our live show where I’ll be breaking it down!

Happy International Read to Me Day! 📚✨

This week has been extra special for our team as we celebrate not only the joy of reading, but an incredible milestone. Our wonderful therapist Shirley has officially released her very own children’s book! A Burp From The Other End 🎉👏

This exciting achievement reflects Shirley’s creativity, passion and dedication ti supporting Children’s development in fun, engaging and meaningful ways. Her book is a beautiful extension of the work she does every day, helping children build confidence, language and a love for learning through connection and play 📖💗

There’s no better time to highlight the importance of reading together. Sharing stories with children supports their language development, imagination, emotional understanding and strengthens the bond between parent and child 🌸

We are so proud of you Shirley! We can’t wait to see the joy your book brings to so many families ✨

This Harmony Week, we celebrate the many languages in our community 🌏🧡

Children who learn more than one language may develop skills across different languages at different times, and that’s a normal part of bilingual development! Language delay or disorder is NOT the same.

🚨 Medicare had expanded funding for children and young people (under 25) who need speech pathology support!

Eligible conditions include:
💙Stuttering
💙Speech sound disorders
💙Cleft lip and/or palate

What’s available:
💛Up to 8 assessment sessions (per lifetime)
💛Up to 20 treatment sessions (per lifetime)
💛$87.25 rebate per session
💛Referral from a GP or paediatrician required

Can I still use my CCMP GP care plan?
Yes! If eligible, you can access both the M10 pathway and a GP Care Plan, just not for the same session on the same day.
M10 sessions can be used any time before the person turns 25 and are separate from GP Care Plan allied health sessions (which allow up to 5 sessions per year).

This expansion is a Medicare Benefits Schedule update, not part of the Thriving Kids program. However some children eligible under M10 May also be eligible for Thriving kids in the future.

For questions about eligibility chat with our GP, specialist or speech pathologist

The good news? 💛 Early intervention works!!
With timely hearing checks and the right speech and language support, children can build strong communication skills and thrive with confidence 🌿

If you have concerns, trust your instincts and seek advice early — small steps today can make a big difference tomorrow.

Child-led play is where the true connection begins 🌱

In child-led therapy, we step into their world, following their ideas, interests and pace. When a child chooses the activity, they’re more engaged, more regulated, and more open to learning. It builds confidence, autonomy, creativity, and trust. The learning feels natural because it’s driven by curiosity, not pressure!

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause…and let them lead 🌟
