🧠✨ Learning together to better support our clients!

Recently, Julia presented to our team on The Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, developed by Dr. Ross Greene. 💙

The CPS model is built on the belief that children do well if they can and focuses on understanding the skills behind challenging behaviours rather than simply managing them. By working collaboratively with children and their families, we can identify unmet skills, solve problems together, and support positive, long-term outcomes. 🤝🌱

At Speak, Learn & Grow, we're committed to ongoing professional learning so we can continue providing thoughtful, evidence-based, and neurodiversity-affirming support to the children and families we work with. 📚✨

🎉 Professional development is one of the ways we continue to provide evidence-based support for our clients!

A huge congratulations to Kerry for recently completing training in Syllable-Timed Speech for supporting children who stutter.

💬 "I learnt how to use syllable-timed speech to improve fluency, including how to implement it in programs designed for both preschool children and school-aged children who stutter. I went to university a long time ago, before these techniques were taught to students, so I'm excited to now have a solid understanding of this approach. I'm looking forward to sharing it with the other therapists so we can use it effectively with our clients who stutter."

We're passionate about ongoing learning and bringing the latest evidence-based approaches into our therapy sessions. We can't wait to continue growing our knowledge as a team and supporting our clients with confidence.

🍗🍫 Team bonding, good food, and plenty of chocolate! 🤍

Our team recently enjoyed a well-deserved team-building night, kicking things off with a delicious Frango dinner at the clinic before taking a stroll down to for a hands-on chocolate making class. 🍫✨

It was a fantastic evening filled with laughs, creativity, and plenty of sweet treats! Spending time together outside of the clinic helps us strengthen our team, build meaningful connections, and have a little fun along the way.

We're so grateful for our amazing team and love creating opportunities to connect, celebrate, and make memories together. Here's to many more team nights! 💙

🌿 What does “neurodiversity-affirming” speech therapy actually mean? 🌿

You might be hearing this term more often - but what does it look like for your child?
Neurodiversity-affirming therapy recognises that differences in communication are natural variations, not something that needs to be “fixed” 💛

👉 In practice, this means we:
✔️ support your child to communicate in ways that work for them (speech, AAC, gestures, etc.)
✔️ build skills without forcing masking or “acting neurotypical”
✔️ respect your child’s interests, sensory needs, and communication style
✔️ focus on connection, confidence, and autonomy
✔️ work with your child - not against them

👉 It does NOT mean:
❌ ignoring challenges or not teaching new skills
❌ “just letting kids do whatever they want”
❌ avoiding support

We still support growth - but in a way that is respectful, empowering, and aligned with your child’s identity 🌈

Every child deserves to feel understood, accepted, and supported as they are 🤍

✨ Congratulations to our lovely therapist Chanelle on completing her Meaningful Speech course! 🎉

This course focuses on the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) framework, supporting children who use gestalt language processing by meeting them at their current stage and helping them progress in a meaningful, individualised way.

Chanelle shared: “I’m excited to implement what I’ve learnt by using the child’s interests, scripts, and gestalts as a starting point for therapy and supporting their progression through the NLA stages in a more individualised and meaningful way.”
We love seeing our team continue to learn, grow, and deepen their practice at Speak Learn and Grow 💛🌱

✨ What AAC really is (and isn’t) ✨

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) is any way of communicating that supports or replaces speech. This might look like:

🗣️ a speech device (iPad with an app)
📷 picture cards
✋ key word sign
📝 writing or typing

👉 AAC IS:
✔️ a way for children to express their thoughts, wants, and feelings
✔️ supportive of speech and language development (it does NOT stop talking!)
✔️ individualised - every child’s system looks different
✔️ empowering for children who find speaking difficult

👉 AAC ISN’T:
❌ “giving up” on speech
❌ only for children who will never talk
❌ something you need to wait to try
❌ a last resort

In fact, the earlier we support communication in any form, the better outcomes we see 💬

Every child deserves a voice - AAC helps make that happen 🤍

A gentle reminder for parents 💛

Speech progress doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes time…
It takes practice…
And it takes consistency.

Some weeks you’ll notice big changes, and other weeks it might feel like nothing is happening at all - but that doesn’t mean progress isn’t being made. 🧠✨

Every time your child practices a sound, listens to a model, or gives it a go, their brain is building new pathways.

Keep going. Keep modelling. Keep celebrating the small wins. 🙌

You’re playing a huge role in your child’s progress - even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.

Your speech therapist might talk about “articulation” - but there are a few myths that can make things confusing! 🤯

Let’s bust 3 common ones 👇

❌ Myth 1: “They’ll grow out of it”
✅ Truth: Some speech errors do resolve over time, but not all. Waiting can sometimes make it harder to fix later - early support is key! 🗣️

❌ Myth 2: “It’s just baby talk”
✅ Truth: Consistent sound errors aren’t always just a phase. If your child is regularly swapping or leaving out sounds, it may need support. 💡

❌ Myth 3: “I should correct them every time they speak”
✅ Truth: Constant correction can be frustrating for kids. Instead, we model the correct sound in a natural way (e.g., “Yes, a sun!” ☀️)

If you’re ever unsure, a speech pathologist can guide you on what’s typical and what might need a little extra help 🤝
