True or False: Dyslexia Myths
Dyslexia comes with more myths than almost any topic we cover. Let’s clear up the big ones, because early support genuinely changes the story. 🌳
Does dyslexia mean my child sees letters backwards? No. Dyslexia is a difficulty connecting sounds to letters, not a vision problem, and reversing letters is normal in early writing. It runs in families and says nothing about intelligence, so a family history is worth flagging early.
Save this and share it with a parent who’s been worried about reading.

Can therapy really work through a screen? Parents ask us this all the time, and the research answer is a clear yes.

Systematic reviews consistently show that telehealth speech therapy delivers outcomes comparable to in-person care. When it is well planned, with the child engaged and a caregiver alongside them, children make the same kinds of gains they would sitting in our clinic. It is not a watered-down version of therapy. It is therapy, delivered where your family already is.

Is telehealth speech therapy as effective as face-to-face? Yes. Current research shows comparable outcomes across articulation, language, and intelligibility when sessions are well structured. We provide telehealth speech therapy to families anywhere in Australia, and we currently have after-school appointments available, so therapy fits around school and work instead of competing with it. 🌳

If the drive, the local waiting list, or the school-hours clash has been the thing holding you back, telehealth solves all three. Book an after-school telehealth session and let’s get started.

When we tell people we are speech pathologists, most respond with glee and ask if we spend our days playing. What people do not realise about being a speech therapist is the amount of planning that goes into supporting a child and their family, sometimes through the toughest moments of their communication and schooling journey.
We are always learning new skills, teaching each other, and planning for the future so children can be the best versions of themselves when they communicate. The photo here is three of our therapists learning a new skill on an AAC device, because staying current is part of the job, not an extra.
What does a speech pathologist actually do? Far more than play. We assess, plan, collaborate with families and schools, and keep building our own skills so your child gets evidence-based support that grows with them. We see families in clinic in Rose Bay, and support families anywhere in Australia through Telehealth.
Curious what support could look like for your child, in clinic or via Telehealth? Reach out, we are always happy to talk it through. 🌳

What does play-based, child-led therapy look like? What if my child is Autistic and not interested in typical play?
Play-based and child-led play looks like connection. The speech therapist is in tune with your child, following their interests even if it means they’re playing the same games over and over. This is where the magic happens because when a child feels seen and heard, they feel safe. When they feel safe, they are more likely to venture out of repetitive play and explore new ways of playing and interacting.

This kind of play is often the play we see naturally happen between parents or carers and their children. When this happens it allows us to coach carers via a Telehealth call. We (the speech therapist) watch interaction, comment on what we see and coach a parent to tweak things to shift the communication and play into something different

This is all done with evidence based techniques and skills. It’s why speech pathologists are communication specialists. If you’re a carer or parent of a child who would benefit from a child led approach and you’re looking for a speech therapist, get in touch. Kids Spot speech therapists can support families all over Australia via Telehealth or in our clinic in Rose Bay, New South Wales

True or False: Age 5 Speech, Language & School Readiness
Five is the big lead-in to school, and reading is on everyone’s mind. Some of what parents assume about being “school ready” isn’t quite right.
Does knowing the alphabet mean my child will read easily? Not on its own. Phonological awareness, or hearing and playing with the sounds in words, predicts reading far better than letter knowledge. Trouble rhyming at 5 can be an early sign of dyslexia, especially with a family history.
Save this before the school year, and send it to a parent who’ll want it too.

“How long will this take before it’s fixed?”
It’s one of the first questions almost every parent asks when they start speech therapy. After more than 23 years supporting families across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, here’s the honest answer.
For a 3 and a half year old who is hard to understand, you can often expect clearer speech within 3 to 6 months, as long as four things are in place:
1. Clear goals, so you know what you’re working on and why
2. You attend sessions every week
3. You are involved, actively learning the practice and showing your therapist how you do it at home
4. You do the home practice. This is the big one.
Speech therapists provide the tools. You use them to build the skills, and to help your child use them too.
So if you have been putting it off because you’re worried it will take forever, please don’t. Getting started sooner beats waiting and worrying.
How long does speech therapy take to work? With clear goals, weekly sessions and consistent home practice, many young children begin showing clearer speech within 3 to 6 months. At Kids Spot in Rose Bay, our speech pathologists help families across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs see real progress by pairing in-session therapy with structured home practice.

True or False: Age 4 Speech & Language Milestones
By four, your child’s speech is really taking off. But a few of the things parents panic about are completely normal, and one thing people brush off actually shouldn’t be.
Should a 4 year old be easy for strangers to understand? By age 4, speech should be close to 100% intelligible, even if the odd sound like r isn’t there yet. Saying “wabbit” for “rabbit” is usually fine, but stuttering at 4 is worth acting on early rather than waiting.
Save this and share it with another parent of a four year old.

Walk into a Kids Spot room and you’ll spot crash mats, exercise balls, spinning chairs, wobble cushions and Bosu balls. These aren’t props or rewards. Each one offers a different way for a child to get the movement and sensory input their body is asking for, which frees up their brain for the real work: listening, thinking, playing and learning.

A wriggly child isn’t a distracted child. More often they’re a child working hard to stay regulated. When we meet that need with the right seating, focus tends to follow.

Does flexible seating actually help children learn? Yes. Research suggests dynamic seating like therapy balls and wobble cushions can improve in-seat behaviour, attention and task engagement, particularly for children with ADHD or sensory processing differences. In one frequently cited study, children with ADHD produced more legible work and stayed in their seats longer when seated on therapy balls instead of standard chairs. The movement helps regulate arousal, and a regulated body is a body that’s ready to learn.

Save this for the next time someone tells you a child has to sit still to learn, and share it with a parent who needs to hear it. ☀️
