Yes, this is a real thing!!!!

This morning my little listeners & I ventured up to Woodside to Melba's Chocolates to enjoy delicious melted chocolate & marshmallows while we waited patiently to meet Nicole from Nifty Entertainment.

We drove away from Melba’s well stocked with delicious supplies to sample, while we waited for the Hear.Think.Speak Audiology equipment to be calibrated back down at Burnside Village. Most delicious calibration day ever!

🤎 We take patient safety seriously
🤎 We also love chocolate

Happy World Chocolate day!

Has your little learner been identified with
🤍 Language delay
🤍 Dyslexia
🤍 Autism Spectrum Disorder
🤍 ADHD

Classrooms are tricky listening environments. Even when a child has normal hearing, listening difficulties can still be present.

An Audiology assessment is an important part of the differential diagnosis process. It can help rule out hearing or health issues that may be contributing to a child’s listening and learning challenges.

Nearly 50% of children identified with language or literacy challenges or neurodiversity will also demonstrate Listening Difficulties (LiD) or an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).

If your child
🤍 Finds learning to read & write challenging
🤍 Struggles to follow instructions in class
🤍 Finds their classroom noisy
🤍 Covers their ears to loud sounds
🤍 Is more tired than expected after school

Explore their hearing, ear health, listening & processing skills with an Audiologist.

An Audiologist can work with children & their families to identify areas of challenge and implement evidence-based management & intervention plans.

School holiday clinics are available this July.

We look forward to being Audiology detectives & working through any concerns you or your class teacher have noticed this year.

Today we shine a light on Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).

🖤 APD affects both kids & adults
🖤 It can be assessed from age 5 years
🖤 Audiologists diagnose APD

Hear.Think.Speak Audiology provided person-centred care. We value the insights of the child or adult presenting for an APD assessment and want to hear their lived experiences.

We take a team approach in the assessment and management of auditory processing concerns. The observations of the parent and teacher are sought as well as relevant information from medical and allied health professionals including Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, GPs and Paediatricians.

Visit our website www.hearthinkspeak.com.au to access screening tools for parents & professionals to find out if risk factors for an APD exist.

April School holiday appointments are filling fast. Book online, or contact the clinic directly 0428 037 164 for availability.

We look forward to supporting you or your child’s hearing, ear health and communication goals.

I T W A S T O O L S D O W N at the start of the week to mark the beginning of another year. Not bad starting Monday with for breakfast. Since Lego is a big hit in our home at the moment, the kids chose me a set for my birthday. It turns out you are never too old to own your first Lego set. And after my bricklaying apprenticeship over the Summer Holidays, I think I’m well placed to be considered as a Team Mate for in a future series 😉 I’m not familiar with this series of Friends Lego. I’d love any insights into the mini figurine, Luiz who is a unilateral cochlear implant recipient. Very cool. Comment below with any fun facts for me!
