During Lego(R) Based Therapy training today, I was tasked with building a tower, with me in it and then writing a story about the build. We were given 3 minutes, so no time for overthinking. This is my build.
Wishing you all a Happy Easter. Please note that our clinic is closed until Wednesday 12th April as our team has a much deserved rest.
We have full and part-time speech therapist positions available. If you are looking for a school hours friendly career with flexible work commitment during school holidays, apply now. Visit our website perthhillsalliedhealth.com.au/ourteam to find out more about our fabulous positions.
Had an absolute blast catching up with the Private Speech Pathologists Association of WA where we talked #DevLangDis and dynamic vocab assessment. Thank you to all #wespeechies who stayed up late to join online, and to @DiPHSP for hosting 🙏 I could have talked til midnight! 😊
This is why we work so hard with our clients - language really is the backbone of our thoughts. ID: "Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about" Benjamin Lee Whorf
There is nothing more important in a young child's life, than the opportunity to play. ID: Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." Fred Rogers.
Recently, I accepted an invitation to present to the staff at a Secondary School, on Developmental Language Disorder. I was blown away to receive this feedback from two of the attendees. Click on the link for more info. eventbrite.com.au/e/developmenta…
This is what drives the work we do at Perth Hills Speech Pathology - our aim is to be innovative problem solvers for children with diverse needs.
We are so excited to be hosting another series of Little Chatterbox School Holiday Groups. All groups are advertised on FB - facebook.com/perthhillsspee… and click on events. Share and join - these are fun and exciting times.
With our current situation with COVID-19, we have responded by easily switching our sessions to Telehealth, whenever necessary. We want to take a moment to thank our clients for joining us on the journey and jumping into this different, but effective method of service delivery.
"We don't think the intelligence issue matters when it comes to literacy. All children can learn to read and write, can become people who matter to the people around them and can use reading and writing in ways that improve their lives" Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver
One of our beautiful clients has written what Dyslexia means to her. We are so incredibly proud of her and the determination that she has for learning to read and spell.
[Share Time] - What is your child's biggest speech therapy win? It might be a small thing, but BIG to you - any win is worth a share!
