Sprout Learning Speech Pathology Helping children and their families to communicate, connect and conquer their goals! 🌈❤️🌱

07/10/2026

One of my favourite therapy resources is probably already sitting in your camera roll.

Photos of their people, their places and their experiences are meaningful, motivating and full of opportunities for language.

The same little photo book can be used in so many different ways depending on a child’s age, language level and goals.

This week I’ll be sharing how we use them at Sprout, from our littlest communicators right through to school-aged kids.

And because photos of children don’t belong on the internet, Benny is stepping in as our consenting model for this clinic example book. 🐶 😉

At Sprout, play-based therapy isn’t the absence of structure or clinical intention.

It’s knowing the child’s goals so deeply that we can work towards them while building a tower, pretending to run a café, racing cars across the floor or making a puppet say something very, very silly.

The child experiences play.

The therapist is observing, modelling, scaffolding, adjusting, responding and making a hundred tiny clinical decisions along the way.

That’s the expertise behind really good play-based therapy. 🌱

I’ve been really enjoying speaking with so many families through our complimentary phone consultations lately.

Some are seeking a second opinion. Some are wondering whether their child actually needs therapy. Others simply trying to make sense of all the information they’ve been given and work out the next step for their child.

As parents, we’re all trying to do the very best for our children. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision, and it can feel overwhelming when you’re not quite sure what to look for.

If you’re currently searching for a speech therapist, I hope these green flags can help guide your decision.

And if you’re not sure where to start, our complimentary phone consultations are a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about our approach and decide whether we’re the right fit for your family.

What would you add to this list of green flags? 🌱

As a speech pathologist and mum of two, this sale gets me every single year.

These are my topics this year to support communication and connection all through play (which is exactly how children learn best!).

Alongside these purchases, there may also be a Disney Princess item (or three) added to my cart.

I’d love to know what you have got your eye on in the sale? Any hidden gems we should know about?

The Reading Guarantee, published by the Grattan Institute in 2024 found that a third of Australian children can’t read proficiently.

That statistic is not a reflection on children not trying hard enough and it’s not about parents failing at literacy homework.

Many of these children and their families are working incredibly hard behind the scenes every single day.

Learning to read requires explicit teaching and support that is evidence based, individualised and compassionate. At Sprout Learning, we’re passionate about helping children, their families and teachers build literacy skills that support development and build confidence.

What is the worst literacy advice you’ve heard? 😅 Let’s myth bust together!

The 50 minutes your child spends with us each week? Powerful. But what happens the rest of the week? That’s where YOU come in.
Home practice doesn’t need to be flashcards or worksheets.
It just needs to be consistent and woven into the everyday moments you’re already having.

Over the April holidays, our World Adventurers social skills group took off on a whirlwind trip across the globe!

From snow-making adventures in Antarctica to dinosaur fossil hunting in the Sahara Desert, creativity and curiosity were all around. Our adventurers teamed up to build elephants in India and put their mechanic hats on in Italy while designing cars (Ferraris were a crowd favourite!).

Along the way, our explorers built confidence and connection through play-based learning, supporting them to:
Connect and interact with peers in meaningful ways
Work together as a team
Share ideas and discover each other’s interests, and
Problem-solve collaboratively when challenges arose.

We love seeing these skills come to life through play, creativity, and shared adventures. Our clinicians even picked up some fun geography facts from our budding explorers!

Where should we travel to next?

You’re not the only one wondering…

“Is my child’s language on track?”

Some children just need a little more time.
Others benefit from the right support early and it’s not always obvious which is which.

These are 3 simple strategies we use every day in therapy and
they’re a great place to start at home.

But if you’re still unsure… that’s exactly what we’re here for.

We offer a free 15-minute chat with our Clinical Director, Grace — so you can:
✔ Get clear answers
✔ Understand what’s typical
✔ Know exactly what to do next

No pressure. Just honest guidance.
