Introducing one of our speech pathologists, Christiana Knapman. Christiana joined our clinic to specialise in fluency after working as a generalist speech pathologist in community health services. She offers considerable experience in telehealth delivery of stuttering therapy, working with clients nationally and based overseas. Apart from her professional expertise, Christiana brings the perspective, sensitivity and understanding of a parent who supported her own child with stuttering therapy.

Christiana has been trained in stuttering therapy programs including the Lidcombe Program, Oakville Programs, and RESTART-DCM. In addition to her clinical work, Christiana undertakes casual academic teaching work in fluency at La Trobe University.

Christiana completed her Master of Speech Pathology at La Trobe University where she was awarded a scholarship for most outstanding achievement. Prior to this, Christiana completed a Master of Education and a Bachelor of Communication.

Christiana consults via telehealth on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Thank you colleagues in Italy for all your work for people who stutter, for convening the friendliest conference and for including me on your Christmas tree!

✨ As we look back on this past yers and all the progress we’ve made together in stuttering research, education, and collaboration, we just want to say a heartfelt thank you.

Being part of such a passionate and supportive community of researchers, clinicians and experts truly means a lot.

🌸 Spring is here, and our beautiful tree out the front is showing off its colours! 🌳✨

Did you know that around 70% of our clients attend via telehealth? That means many of you don’t get the chance to see our clinic in person. So today, we thought we’d share a little glimpse of the view that greets us each day.

Here’s hoping this touch of spring brightens your day too! 💐💛
