🌏 Today is World Physiotherapy Day!

To celebrate, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our experienced physiotherapists, Emma Bennett, who has been part of the EverAbility team for eight years.

Drawn to physiotherapy through an interest in movement, exercise and health, Emma said she wanted a career where she could work alongside people and make a meaningful difference in their everyday lives.

💬 “The best part of being a physiotherapist is creating meaningful connections with clients and their families. It’s incredibly rewarding to work alongside children and their families to achieve their goals and celebrate milestones that can have a significant impact on their confidence, independence and participation in daily life," she said.

Working across Kites and VisAbility means supporting people throughout different stages of life – from babies and children through to adults – and no two days are quite the same."

And Emma's advice for anyone considering a career in physiotherapy?

💬 *“I would highly recommend it! It is such a rewarding profession. I have met so many wonderful clients, families and colleagues throughout my career so far.” 😊

This Physiotherapy Day we celebrate our physiotherapists and the important role they play in helping people build their movement, confidence, independence and participation in everyday life.

💬 Celebrating Speech Pathology Week with Helena!
For Speech Pathology Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the people at Kites who help children and families achieve their communication goals.
For Helena, becoming a speech pathologist was inspired by a very personal experience.
“My sister has autism, and I grew up watching her have speech therapy on a regular basis. She was non-verbal but is now able to communicate verbally and live independently. This inspired me to want to help other families and give them the gift of communication.”
Now, after 10 years with EverAbility, Helena continues to find joy in supporting children and their families.
Her favourite part of being a speech pathologist is “watching them achieve their goals and milestones” – and she loves the variety that comes with her role at Kites.
“From AAC, speech and language to mealtimes, I get to do something exciting and different every day.”
And Helena’s advice for anyone thinking about becoming a speech pathologist is simple:
“Go for it – it’s an amazing profession! 🙂”
This Speech Pathology Week, we’re celebrating Helena and all our speech pathologists for the difference they make in the lives of children and families every day. 💙
