​Hi, I'm Alyssa.

​

I'm a speech pathologist with over 13 years of experience working with children, adolescents and young adults. I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach and focus on understanding each child as an individual.

​

I work alongside families to support communication in ways that fit naturally into everyday life. Sessions are shaped around each child's interests, strengths and goals, as well as what helps them feel comfortable, connected and engaged. Building genuine relationships with the children and young people I support is important to me, and I believe connection provides an important foundation for learning.

​

I enjoy working with school-aged children and young people and have clinical interests in language, literacy, social communication and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). I'm passionate about supporting greater awareness and understanding of the impact language difficulties can have on learning, participation and wellbeing.

​

Alongside clinical work, I enjoy collaborating with families, schools and other professionals to support children across the environments that matter most to them. I also have an interest in professional learning, consultation and supporting other speech pathologists through clinical supervision.

​

I am a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist and member of Speech Pathology Australia.
