Beautiful Peggy & I making Christmas globes together.
Therapy isnt always about doing drills or traditional based activities.
This week I incorporated her love of crafts into our session to make these super cute globes 😍 making her language therapy meaningful and specific to her.

One of our wonderful clients receiving his new Thinc Voice Amplification systems.
🤍 Portable
🤍 FM radio
🤍 Covers a great distance
This lovely chap was unable to complete traditional evidence based intervention for his voice secondary to Parkinsons disease, however he is able to achieve a strong and clear voice using this amplification device.
These are also suitable for professional voice users like gym instructors/personal trainers and teachers.
If you struggle with your voice strength then come and see us

🌟 Today marks the beginning of Speech Pathology Week 2025!
🌱 This year’s theme, “Impact Through Communication”, is a wonderful reminder of why we love what we do—supporting people to discover and embrace their unique ways of communicating.
❓So, what does “Impact Through Communication” really mean? It’s about how communication changes lives. Each day this week focuses on a different aspect of that transformation:
1️⃣ Connection – strengthening bonds with loved ones, family, and communities.
2️⃣ Confidence – enabling people to express themselves proudly and in their own unique way.
3️⃣ Inclusion – making communication accessible for everyone.
4️⃣ Empowerment – giving individuals the tools to advocate for their needs, opinions, and care.
5️⃣ Opportunity – opening pathways in education, employment, and beyond.
6️⃣ Wellbeing – supporting emotional and mental health through meaningful communication.
7️⃣ Independence – fostering autonomy and self-expression throughout life’s journey.
💗 We feel privileged to walk alongside individuals as they overcome barriers and build meaningful connections with those around them. Communication is about more than words—it’s about relationships, dignity, choice, and possibilities.
🙌🏼 Let’s celebrate every voice, every journey, and every way of communicating.
