🚗✨ I spotted this car the other day and couldn’t help but get a little too excited. Not because I’m a fan of the movie Cars (confession: I’ve actually never seen it!) but because one of my clients, let’s call her “A,” absolutely adores Lightning McQueen.

Immediately, I snapped a photo and couldn’t wait to show her in our next session. ❤️

It’s moments like these that remind me how much I truly live and breathe the children I work with. They’re never far from my mind. I’m always thinking about how their day went, how that first swimming lesson went, or if they enjoyed their birthday party.

With “A,” for example, we weave her love for Cars into therapy: learning about empathy through the characters, using Cars stickers to explore prepositions, and role-playing social skills with her favourite Lightning McQueen toys.

Because therapy should always feel meaningful, personal and fun. 💛

Speech pathologists can support children in so many different areas. This little girl is the perfect example of how broad our scope can be! 🌟

This year, her goals have focused on:
• Social skills
• Language development
• Speech sounds

She has made incredible progress and it’s been such a joy to watch her grow into a confident, expressive communicator. 💬

She never wants to leave at the end of her sessions and always arrives bursting with excitement to tell me all about her week! 💕

After working in the disability sector for over 15 years, many of my first clients are now becoming adults. Over time, our goals have naturally shifted from making friends to comprehending a driver’s test or ordering at a restaurant.

I realised that I didn’t want to say goodbye to these incredible individuals at 18. Instead, I wanted to continue supporting them as they navigate new stages of life.

Because of this, Hear Me Roar Speech Pathology now proudly supports both paediatric and adult clients. I offer speech pathology for all ages, focusing on practical, functional communication skills.

For adults, this might include learning how to order food, give a speech, hold a conversation, ask someone on a date, vote, or manage money. Communication is woven into every part of daily life, and my goal is to help each person strengthen these essential skills in meaningful, real-world ways.

I’m so excited to take this next step forward and continue growing alongside the amazing people I’ve had the privilege to support. 💚🗣️✨

🌸 OCTOBER IS SELECTIVE MUTISM AWARENESS MONTH 🌸

Selective Mutism is an extreme anxiety disorder that affects around 7 in 1000 children. The anxiety can be so overwhelming that a child is unable to speak in certain settings or with certain people, even though they want to. 💬

When I was little, I experienced Selective Mutism. Talking outside my comfort zone felt impossible at times, but with the help of some fabulous speech pathologists and the most supportive parents, I slowly found my voice. 🩷

Fast forward to today, I’m a very chatty, engaging speech pathologist who adores helping children build confidence in their own communication. You’d never have guessed where I started!

To anyone supporting a child with Selective Mutism, please know that with patience, love, and the right guidance, progress happens. In their time, and in their way. 💛

✨ Hi, I’m Shannon, the owner behind Hear Me Roar Speech Pathology 💕

I graduated with a Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours) from the University of Newcastle in 2015. My journey started when I was just 3 years old with my very own speechie. I loved going so much that I decided to become one myself!

A little about me:
🌸 Always in dresses, but never afraid to get on the floor and play!
🩰 Can still go en pointe
🌼 Lover of picnics by the flowers
👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 Wife and mum of two

What makes Hear Me Roar different? It’s just me. No big companies, no new grads, no unexpected resignations. Just 100% commitment to your child and family. I pour my heart into every session and genuinely want the best for every little one I see. 💖

Your child is always communicating — even before they use words 💬✨

Every sound, gesture, or look is an opportunity to build their language skills. By responding to their attempts, you’re showing them:
👉 “I hear you.”
👉 “Your voice matters.”
👉 “Communication works!”

Here are a few simple ways to respond at home:
👂 If they listen to a sound → name it or copy it
📖 If they bring you a book → point and label together
🖐 If they reach → model the word and give it
😁 If they make a noise/face → copy them to take turns

These little moments are the building blocks for big communication skills 🧩❤️

🌟 Is your child learning to talk? 🌟
One of the best ways to build their language skills is by using everyday routines. Kids learn most when words are repeated naturally during moments that happen every single day 💡✨

👉 Bath time, cooking dinner, and car rides are all perfect chances to model words.
👉 Simple words like on/off, hot/cold, big/small can make a big difference.
👉 Everyday actions like splash, mix, pour are fantastic for vocabulary growth.

It doesn’t need to be complicated – just add language to what you’re already doing! 💬🧼🍲🚗

💛 Which routine will you try today?

It’s not often that a Speech Pathologist gets to work with the same child for 10 years! Usually, this doesn’t happen because families or speechies (myself included!) move around. But one very special family has stuck with me through every change, travelling all over Sydney to keep our sessions going.

I first met this wonderful boy when he was just 6 years old, and now he’s 16. Over the years, our goals have shifted so much, and I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow into a kind, capable young man. Just last week, I even got to help him with his learner’s license!

Getting to be part of his journey has been such a joy, and it truly is a privilege to support him as he continues to achieve so much. Without a doubt, this has been a career highlight for me.

✨ Building language is about modelling, not testing! ✨

Instead of asking children to “say” or “repeat” words, give them clear and simple language models they can copy when they’re ready.

💡 For example:
❌ “Say more”
✅ “More biscuit”

This takes the pressure off, helps children feel successful, and gives them the words they need to communicate. 🌸🐇

Try swapping your prompts and watch your little one’s language blossom! 🌼

Happy Father’s Day! 💙
This year I’ve been so lucky to witness the amazing role so many dads play in their child’s speech therapy journey. I’ve seen dads sitting on the floor to join in the games 🎲, dads carefully taking notes and following through with home practice, dads committing daily to stuttering programs 🗣️, and dads wholeheartedly advocating for their child every step of the way 💪.

It’s truly wonderful to see such strong involvement and dedication from fathers in the therapy process. It makes such a difference! 🌟
