I am away on a mini-break camping with my family. It is a great opportunity to think of new approaches so that communication is accessible and inclusive within the community! I have lots of ideas - watch this space- I am back in Wellsford this Friday and next Thursday (15th) in Mangawhai book in for a session

Struggling to find a speech-language therapist (SLT)? You’re not alone.

Aotearoa has only around 22 SLTs per 100,000 people – among the lowest rates in the OECD. That means long waitlists and people missing out on help to communicate and swallow safely.

NZSTA is calling for targeted investment in three high-need areas:
🔹 Assistive Technology & AAC – so people who rely on devices are not waiting years to have a voice
🔹 Dementia – keeping people connected, independent and safe for longer
🔹 Residential disability services – making sure it is safe to eat and free to communicate in every home

My favourite kind of therapy is speech therapy that just looks like play! So much can happen when you have fun and meet the tamariki where they are

I've been busy behind the scenes, working with lots of young people. The demand for sessions has continued to grow, and I've found an additional amazing space to use. From this afternoon, I'll be using the Studio at Epic Physio, 1 Worker Road, Wellsford, on Friday afternoons. I'm excited to spend time closer to home and support more gorgeous children and young people.

Sometimes my professional and personal lives collide. One of my kiddos is needing an allergy test - so today I have been writing a social story for him to help him understand what to expect and what will happen. It has helped him feel more comfortable and prepared
