We are passionate about communication in the community! We understand communication is fundamental for building connections, and strive to empower all our clients to make meaningful relationships within their communities. In order to achieve this, we have adapted the traditional model of therapy provision (in clinic, 1:1) and expanded our scope to meet the needs of our clients more broadly. We have designed an innovative and highly functional approach, which promotes meaningful application of their communication skills in activities most important to them and greater generalisation across a multiple of contexts.  We want to help our clients engage and participate fully in all their favourite hobbies and group classes, while improving the communities awareness of how to support a diverse range of communication styles.

 

 We take pride in offering our clients choice and control over what is considered meaningful and functional therapy provision for them. We offer clients the opportunity to utilise their therapy to support community engagement by accessing a range of supports, for example:

​

•  Up skilling and training local Sports Groups/ Coaches on how to best meet the individual communication needs of the client

• Creating communication based behaviour support plans and providing social/learning engagement supports to maximise the clients enjoyment and participation at After School Care. 

• Providing fluency strategies to the local Amateur Theatre group, to ensure all staff can support our client who is learning to manage their stutter

• Offering 'Teach the Teacher' training to educators at the local Tutoring company, to ensure their sessions meet the learning needs of our client

• Broadly advocating for communication diversity within your specific community groups and challenging them to meet the communication needs of every member.

​

Speechies For You is committed to building strong relationships within the community and collaborating with local groups/ centres/ recreational clubs to embed inclusive practices.
