Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability of childhood in Australia. Riding a bicycle is a popular activity for Australian children and can be a goal for children with CP.

Researchers Dr Rachel Toovey, APAM, Associate Professor Adrienne Harvey, APAM, Professor Jennifer McGinley, APAM, Professor Katherine J. Lee, Dr Sophy Shih, and Professor Alicia Spittle, APAM, aimed to determine whether a task-specific physiotherapist-led training approach is more effective than a non-specific parent-led home programme for attaining bicycle-riding goals in ambulant children with CP. This work was supported by a PRF Seeding Grant allocated to Dr Rachel Toovey in 2016.

Carmen is awesome, full of wonderful ideas

We want to welcome and introduce Carmen Hunter - A Certified-Practicing Speech Pathologist. Later in the term Carmen will be delivering online sessions for the IFS HUB Program that you can access (FOR FREE). We are very excited about this! More information to follow soon.

Carmen has worked as a Paediatric Speech Pathologist for over a decade. After graduating from the University of Queensland with an Honours degree in 2008, she has worked in a variety of clinical settings across Brisbane, Sydney, Mackay and Yeppoon. These include: early intervention in the disability sector, a specialist autism clinic, hospital and community health care, the education department, and private practice.

Her special interest areas include: paediatric feeding; developmental delay; speech; language; social skills, play and literacy development. Carmen has a broad range of experience presenting to parents, caregivers and teaching staff. She believes parents are the most important teachers in their child's life, and hopes to share practical, evidence-based skills that can make a real difference.

As a mother of young children, Carmen is acutely aware of the realities of supporting a child's development within the busyness of daily life. She currently operates her own private practice, The Kid's Speech, from Yeppoon - and consults to early childhood settings along the Queensland coast.

Carmen and her son Thomas.
