Such an important reminder for families during this upcoming possibility of a cyclone. Our little ones look to us for safety and reassurance, and these simple strategies can make a huge difference. Taking time to stay calm, listen, and do comforting activities together helps children feel secure and connected. Stay safe 💛🌧️

👂 Hearing Awareness Week: Understanding the Speech Banana🍌

The speech banana helps us visualise where everyday speech sounds sit on an audiogram.

By mapping the loudness and frequency of these sounds, we can better understand how hearing levels impact access to spoken language.

Raising awareness helps ensure every child has the support they need to listen, learn, and thrive. 💛✨

🌍✨ Did you know it’s Hearing Awareness Week?

Hearing plays a vital role in the way children listen, talk, and understand what’s happening around them.

Even short‑term hearing problems can make it harder for them to learn new sounds.🗣️

This week is a great reminder that quick hearing checks can help catch issues early and support confident communication as children grow. ✔️💛
