A beautiful, relaxing morning in Sutherland, exploring the parks near our clinic at Communitalk Speech Pathology Services.

We love starting the day with a morning walk, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful surroundings before beginning another great day of supporting our clients.

Today we celebrate the possibility to thrive.

Thank you to the speech pathologists across Australia whose knowledge, compassion and expertise help create opportunities for people every day. Your work strengthens communication and swallowing outcomes that support wellbeing and quality of life.

Together, we're celebrating a profession that helps turn communication into possibility.

Welcome to Day 3 of Speech Pathology Week.

Today we're celebrating the possibility to grow.

Growth can begin in the simplest moments like reading a favourite story to a room full of toys. Through play, children build language, confidence, imagination and communication skills that continue to grow over time.

Speech pathologists support these everyday moments, helping people develop the skills that create greater independence and open new possibilities for the future.

This year's theme, Communication creates possibility, celebrates the many ways speech pathologists help people build connections, access opportunities and participate more fully in everyday life.

Today's focus is the possibility to connect.

Speech pathologists support people to communicate in ways that work for them, helping strengthen relationships with family, friends and their communities.

Every connection begins with communication.

At 18 months, children can usually:

Understanding:
✅ Recognise up to 50 words and short phrases
✅ Follow simple instructions (e.g., "throw the ball")
✅ Point to familiar objects when named
✅ Identify pictures in familiar books

Speaking:
✅ Say 6 to 20 single words – some clearer than others but becoming more consistent
✅ Copy lots of words and noises
✅ Name a few body parts
✅ Use objects in pretend play (e.g., hold a toy phone to their ear and say “hello?”)

Every child develops at their own pace, but if you’re unsure or have questions, we’re here to help!
