still SPA registration a Hard ..very hard step.. even for 10 yr experienced therapist from other countries

Hi how did you get into the hospital system? I am keen to work in the hospital system.

Wow I am going to speech pathology from a nursing background

So true unfortunately I started OT. Did not like it and communication is so important. I start speech pathology next year.

Great work, interested to know what apps were used. Can see that EMST device was used.

I have to say having lost near wholesale an interest in reading and consumed by too much writing the medical solution of *"etymology"* i think might apply to all cases as correct upon said manner.

Hello

Do you have a service in Brisbane?

Well said Nirali..."communication difficulties do not discriminate"!!

Nirali, did you study in Australia ? Or you went through the PR. And degree assessment process in Australia

Hi mam will you talk to me

Can't wait!!😃

Great

Parents needed to do much earlier speech therapy with him. God only knows what this man endured in his home.

Thank you Tim and Speech Pathology Australia for such an important sharing of perspectives.. 🙏🤗

Thanks SPA for holding such discussion and sharing that with the public! This’s really a great way to support the public and governments to have a better understanding of the meaning and importance of speech pathology for people who need that. Hope SPA could share more and more videos, discussions and reports to promote ours cognition in the future! :)

Thanks for this

Fantastic to watch... You're an inspiring young person DJ! Your experience and determination will be of great value to others when you start teaching.

Wow. That's a great story!

Speechies actually do something. It's time recognise their contribution in education. More school should hire speech pathologist.

Speech therapists are essential to an MDT team in forensics, just to identify e.g a persons blanks levels can lead to significant changes in the way the clients behaviours aerial perceived leading to better management and support strategies.Its also refreshing to see us being valued by psychiatrists 😊

Hello, I'd like to up-skill my work and therapeutic methods with young adults and adults with MH and Trauma. do you have recommendations for reading/PD opportunities/training/resources ?

Hopefully this will lead to more posts being created in Australia in this field - benefits for Tom, his family, the MDT, the police... and reduced costs implications too. A win for everyone!

Great to see the long term impact of speech pathology intervention in this area. Hoping he gets to fulfil his dreams of a career in social care, he would be wonderful!

This is a great video. I didn't get to the conference, so it's great that you were able to upload this video to give us a base from which to start reflecting about how we work. I can't help but think these ideas expressed are useful in our approach to all our clients and families with whom we work. I'm sure anyone watching this will take something away from it!

I think this is a very important conversation for us in the clinical Speech Pathology community to have, and it's always so encouraging to see interaction between the research side and the clinical side - this can be nothing but positive for clients! I think I will need to investigate more, because I find it really hard to pin down a 'one size' or indeed 'one dose' fits all. When looking at communication, there is so much of what we need to consider that's contextual and individual. What the client, their family, and the therapist themselves bring to the table is going to be different each time. In some cases, more therapy way well be better, if it's provided with the view of the therapist working themselves out of a job and ultimately withdrawing therapy. But certainly, some clients and families have a greater capacity for positive change with less intervention. Indeed, the intervention itself will be different for each client depending on presentation and capacity. What we do needs to be dynamic in that sense, making the concept of 'dose' dynamic in itself. I think it's great to have researchers like Laura Justice looking more deeply into this, because that's how we will learn what context allows for better gains for most clients. Interesting to think about, nonetheless!

Thank God. Hallelujah . More therapy does not mean better therapy. The concept of "dose " is so important and finding the active ingredient in a therapy session that will enable the dominoe effect for further improvement is vital. I wish I had heard this Professor 's talk in 2017 . I am certainly going to look her up . At last someone is talking sense about speech pathology intervention. My own thoughts about intensive therapy ( e.g 4 x therapy per week for children with phonological disorders ) is that this is child abuse !! Extreme I know but I welcome like minded comments
