I AM well known for my work-ethic…

10/01/2026

That’s some gooooood coffee! ☕️😄

19 years in, the imposter syndrome is juuuuust starting to fade, so I instantly put myself into new, uncomfortable situations that continue to challenge me 🫣😅

I’d already struck out on my own, starting my own business with a 10 month old (first child,) then started creating video courses with a 6 month old (second child,) then when that started feeling comfortable, I started doing live workshops, then hosting guest experts to run live workshops, then I put my hand up to be expert advisor for Speech Sound Disorders for the New Zealand Speech Language Therapists Association (terrifying!) then, as if all THAT wasn’t enough, I started a supervision membership to support Speech Language Therapists who want to become more confident in their therapy intervention decisions and practice.

Sitting still and staying comfortable has never been a strong point of mine 😅

If you’d like to come along for the ride, and learn more about SSDs, interventions, who to use them for, how to make the clinical decisions around that, plus get regular 1:1 time with me, and a bonus community of like-minded SLTs and educators, then jump into my Supervision Membership.

One spot left, and I’m not sure if or when I’ll be opening up any more spaces; I’m too stoked with who’s in there already 🥰

If you’d like to claim the last space as yours, and make 2026 the year you start feeling like you know what you’re doing, comment below and I’ll get in touch to give you all the deets 💋

And I’m sharing all the knowledge and insights I’ve picked up over the past 19 years of practicing as a Speech Language Therapist in my Supervision Membership.

We’re covering all the most used interventions for speech sound disorders and how to decide who to use them with.

Starting this month and continuing throughout the year, with fortnightly live workshops.

I do the research for you, summarise the important bits, and share my tips, tricks, and ways to make it all work in real-life settings and situations.

This membership is the perfect place of no-judgement and support to learn, if you’re working with children and are feeling a bit unsure about which interventions to choose.

You can get all the info in the workshops, then bring your questions and cases to 1:1 supervision with me.

If you’re ready for 2026 to be the year you start feeling confident about your clinical choices and skills, get in touch.

There’s two spaces left. Workshops starting soon.

Do you do this?!

Do you:
📝make a plan, then figure out the steps to get there and work towards it,
💡or come up with an idea, then figure out how to make it work?

Do you have a 5 year plan, or are you making it up as you go (like me 😅)?!

Let’s talk about it in the comments ⬇️

Welcome! I’m so glad you found me 🥰

👋 I’m Polly Newton I’m a Speech Language Therapist who has been working 1:1 with children with communication challenges for almost two decades now.

I have a special interest in speech, language and social communication (good golly - who would have thought!)

A wee while ago, I put my hand up to be the expert advisor for the New Zealand Speech Language Therapist’s Association, and much to my surprise and delight, I was accepted 🥰

I recently received a late diagnosis of ADHD and am also likely Autistic and gifted. I believe there’s a neurotype of gifted, with other neurodiversities attached - thrown in for good measure, if you will - just for extra funsies, and emerging research is starting to confirm this.

I’ve come to realise that my work means I get to hang with my “tribe” - the kids who are a little bit different, and that’s what makes them extra precious and important.

I live in Aotearoa New Zealand and am SO grateful that this is the place I get to call home.

Please introduce yourself in the comments, tell me something interesting about yourself and let me know why you’re following this account - let’s get to know each other - human connection and communication is where it’s at, after all 🥰
