Here's a graphic I made to create more accessible conversations around speech disabilities. 1 in 7 Australians will experience communication difficulties in their lifetime. It also happens to be Speech Pathology Week 2022! @SpeechPathAus #SPWeek2022 #speechpathologyweek

Not all communication is verbal. Australians communicate in a variety of ways, incl. #signlanguage, electronic speech devices, word or picture-based books, and eye-gaze technology. ‘Good Communications, Better Communities’ #SPweek2022 #speechpathologyweek

Tonight was parents evening. Both kids did amazing.

But my sons teacher said:

His speech & language is no longer an issue for him. It doesn’t affect him in class. In fact, he doesn’t shut up talking & always has plenty to say!

That’s the power of #SpeechTherapy 😍

Today (22 October) is International Stuttering Awareness Day. The theme in 2021 is: “Speak the change you wish to see”.

Speech Pathologists are the only professionals trained to assess, treat and manage stuttering.
