I have over 30 years in paediatric speech pathology, working in health, education, university, telehealth, and private practice settings across Australia. This experience has included program development, mentoring, training, and student education. I have led teams of speech pathologists in education, health, and NGO settings. I have been involved in projects to develop multidisciplinary assessment services, group therapy programs (early language, parent training, and stuttering), and to develop the skills of speech pathology students, education staff, and less experienced speech pathologists.
I have particular expertise in the areas of stuttering, language and literacy disorders, speech sound disorders, supervision of staff, and also multidiscipline team assessment of neurodiverse children. My focus is to ensure that every child and family has access the best individualised evidence-based services to support their communication and literacy skills. My approach is strengths-based. I aim to provide families with the relevant information so that they can make well-informed decisions about what is best for their child.

what parents are saying
Discover the difference we make in children’s lives through the
words of our parents: real stories of progress, care, and breakthroughs.
Absolutely the best place I have ever taken my daughter who has a chronic condition. She felt listened to and the care matched her needs.
Cheryl Kershaw
After our child was diagnosed with a complex pain condition he was unable to walk and was crying in agony 24 hrs a day. We learned more from the first meeting with the Physio and OT than from any other specialist. We are eternally grateful for the help from Nicole and Emily.
