About Us

Welcome!

We are two practising speech pathologists, working with people of all ages and stages, disorders and differences, in private practice and in hospitals.

We have been trained in understanding a wide range of learning philosophies and theoretical models and using therapy tools and techniques, and fit the model of therapy to fit a child’s needs.

We have, between us, five of our own children, (and a grandchild) ranging in ages from 1 year to 28 years old!

This website has been designed with parents in mind, to support families in developing their children’s communication.   We want to help you to help your child talk and to develop all the other communication skills they need for academic, professional and personal life.

It is not our aim to provide therapy over the internet and people are encouraged to seek assessment and intervention with a speech pathologist if they have concerns.

In these pages you will find information and resources that have been developed over years of clinical practise, answering parents’ questions, and through experience with our own children and the hundreds of children we have worked with.  There are guidelines about what parents should expect of their children at certain ages and stages of life.  Additionally there are definitions about disorders and strategies that you can use if your children do have delays or difficulties with language development

You will also find valuable strategies to help you maximise your child’s speech and language development, whether or not they have specific difficulties.  There will be tips about games, activities, approaches and resources that we and the parents we work with have found to be invaluable.
