Speech pathologists are the communication professionals who work with the 1.2 million Australians with communication disability. They work to ensure that communication is everyone’s right.

During Speech Pathology Week 2021 we aim to raise awareness of the tremendous work that speech pathologists do.

You don’t need a referral from a GP or others to see a speech pathologist. Search for a speech pathologist using the ‘Find a Speech Pathologist’ engine on our website.

Learning to read and write is a crucial part of a child’s development. Reading and writing (literacy) are essential skills for adults. Being literate means that people can understand and follow written instructions, find out information online or in books, write letters and emails, and send text messages. It also means that a child or adult is able to participate fully in their education and learning.

As the professionals who support children with communication difficulties, speech pathologists are a useful part of any literacy team. With literacy as the bedrock of communication, it is why speech pathologists understand that “communications is everyone’s right!”

Just completed the speech pathology prep screening program at a local school for another year. What a great school program to ensure their preps will have the best start to their school journey. Prep screens include a screening of a child's listening and speaking skills including their articulation and their pre-literacy skills. Why not consider having your child's skills screened in term 3 of kinder to ensure school readiness. Contact me if you are insterested.

Have a look at this great resource by Speech Pathology Australia. It allows you to check if your child's speech and language skills are developing "between the flags" and when it may be appropriate to seek support from a speech pathologist. If you would like an assessment of your child's speech and language skills please contact me.

Speech Pathology Australia has produced the new “Communication Milestones Kit” to provide information for parents and carers about the role of speech pathologists. The kit also assists parents and carers to find a speech pathologist if they are unsure about whether their child is having difficulty with his or her speech, language and communication. The kit includes a poster, information sheets and information about how to find a speech pathologist.
