Paediatric SP based in Australia, supporting young children with early communication, AAC and language development. I work closely with families, educators, and therapy teams to create practical, evidence-informed supported that help communication grow in everyday life.
Teaching style
My approach is playful, near-affirming, and connection first. I focus on building safety, shared joy, and meaningful communication through play, routines, visuals, and responsive interaction. All resources are designed for real children, real families, and real therapy spaces.
