Reintroducing Grace, our director, speech pathologist, mum, and resident yapper 🌱

She’s the first to order a new resource, the last to skip a kitchen dance party, and can often be found walking around the clinic with a screwdriver and a cup of tea in hand ☕

What’s your favourite (or most questionable) movie recommendation Grace has given you? 👀🎬

As the year begins to wind down and Term 4 gets busy, many children (and parents!) start to feel the strain. For autistic clients, this time can be especially exhausting with changes in routine, sensory overload, and social pressures can all build up.

Autistic burnout isn’t just tiredness. It a deep, last exhaustion that can impact communication, emotional regulation and daily activities.

🌱 Take extra care to slow down where you can, protect energy and build in recovery time.
🌱 Quiet spaces, predictable routines, and supportive relationships make all the difference.

From wagging tails to shiny scales, our Sprout Speech team has quite the pet collection at home! 🐶🦎🐍 Chatting about our furry (or scaly) friends is such a fun way to start a session. It helps to build connection, spark conversation and share a few laughs (or fears! 🐍 ) along the way.

Would you like a pet snake at your house? 😅

At Sprout Learning, we know that empowered parents raise empowered kids. That’s why we’ve created our education library - filled with a rotating selection of neuro-affirming, evidence-based books to support children and their families on their own unique journey.

Last week, Grace shared with our team what she learned at a recent professional development session on paediatric feeding disorders. There was so much interesting information shared!

One important take away is something that is recommended for all families by the World Health Organisation and that is Responsive Feeding.

Responsive feeding means tuning in to your child’s hunger and fullness cues, offering food calmly, and making mealtimes a positive, connected experience.

Chat to our team if you’d like further tips and support in helping create happy, stress-free mealtimes that support growth and connection. 🌱

Meet our newest (feathered) friend at Sprout!

She’s bright, cheeky, and full of mischief - you might spot her hiding in our reception area or peeking out to say hello as you arrive.

She’ll be here to greet families each day, but there is one problem… she doesn’t have a name yet!

Did you know there is more than one way children learn to talk? 🧠

Some kids are analytic language processors, they build language one word at a time.

Others are gestalt language processors, they speak in chunks that carry emotional meaning.

Both pathways can lead to flexible, meaningful language. They just have different steps to get there.

Understanding your child’s language processing style helps us tailor therapy and support their communication journey with confidence. 🌱

Two of our incredible speech pathologists, Jasmine and Danielle, completed the Hanen More Than Words 3-day training last week. 💬💛

More Than Words is an evidence-based, family-centred approach designed to support autistic children (or children who may benefit from social communication support) by empowering parents as active partners in the therapy process. It’s all about using everyday moments — mealtime, playtime, storytime — to build meaningful connection and communication. 🧸🍽📚

We’re so proud of Jasmine and Danielle for continuing to grow their skills with approaches that truly align with our values — warm, collaborative, and strengths-based.

One of the most common questions we hear is: “Will learning two languages confuse my child?” The answer is no - bilingualism does not cause language delays or confusion. In fact, growing up with more than one language is a gift! At Sprout Learning, we’re here to support families raising confident, multilingual kids! 🌱

Did you know that simply reading with your child (not just to them) can boost their language, vocabulary, comprehension and confidence?

This is called dialogic reading – a powerful, interactive way of reading where your child becomes the storyteller.

It’s especially helpful for:
👶 Children developing early language skills
🧠 Kids working on comprehension and narrative
💬 Late talkers or those with language delays
📖 And honestly… every child who loves stories!

We love using books in therapy sessions because they’re fun, engaging and accessible for everyone – whether from your home bookshelf or borrowed from your local library.

Swipe through for some easy tips to make shared reading even more meaningful and enjoyable. 💛

One hour of speech therapy is just 0.59% of your child’s week.

We know that between school, work, and life’s endless to-do list, time together can feel limited. The juggle and mental load is real! 💚

That’s why we focus on empowering you with the knowledge, strategies, and confidence to support your child’s communication in the moments you do have. By building on their strengths and celebrating progress together, we make every interaction count - because you are their biggest advocate and most important communication partner. 💬🌱

And as always remember, you’re doing a great job! ❤️
