☕ Swallowing Awareness Day ☕
Swallowing Awareness Day is an opportunity to bring attention to people with swallowing needs and connect them with speech pathologists who can help.

Swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) is any problem with sucking, swallowing, drinking, chewing, eating, controlling saliva, taking medication, or protecting the lungs from food and drink 'going the wrong way'.

Like breathing, swallowing is essential to everyday life. People swallow between 500–700 times a day, around three times an hour during sleep, once per minute while awake and even more during meals. 🫁🛌

Over one million Australians have a swallowing difficulty (also known as dysphagia). 😲

If you need any support relating to your swallow, feel free to begin a discussion, or head to the Speech Pathology Australia website to find a speech pathologist.

🌸 International Women’s Day 2025 🌸

Today, on International Women’s Day, we honour the incredible women who shape our lives, our communities, and our world.

I have been raised by, and am surrounded by, strong, powerful and intelligent women. Women who have taught me resilience, compassion, and the power of lifting others up. Their influence has shaped who I am today and continues to inspire the work I do at Sprout.

To every woman- mothers, daughters, sisters, caregivers, leaders, and dreamers- Your impact is immeasurable. May support, empowerment, and celebration of one another continue, not just today, but every day.

🔑 Unlocking Independence-Interactive Visual Routines 🔑

Consistency and predictability help little minds feel secure, confident, and in control of their day. Interactive daily visual routines are a simple yet powerful tool that support children in understanding what comes next, reducing worries, and encouraging independence.

By seeing and interacting with their routine, whether through pictures, symbols, or objects, children can build:
✅ Capacity to follow steps and independently manage transitions
✅ Foundations for independence in daily tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, or packing a bag
✅ Communication skills by making choices and expressing needs

This week, my family and I have been trialling the viral interactive routine using light up switches (Kmart), in hope to build my daughters independence (and to hopefully help get out the door each morning on time 😂). Once a task is complete, the light gets turned off, moving the focus on to the next task. 💪
