What a way to start the school year! I have spent some time this morning with the passionate kaiawhina at Mangawhai Beach School. We chatted about my role, communication and that it can look different for different children, and the ways we can support their beautiful learners.

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

Are you worried about your child's communication? Are you finding it tricky to express yourself? Have you been thinking about talking to a Speech-Language Therapist?

I don't usually have availability in either Mangawhai or Wellsford clinics. But, this school holiday I have some free spots for extra sessions or assessments.

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.
