Emily and Thea are our two speech pathologists at Dohertys Creek College. Emily works Monday- Friday and Thea works Monday – Thursday. Our speech pathology team have experience working with children of a range of ages to support them with their communication skills including speech, language, literacy, and social communication. Our speech pathologists collaborate with leadership, teaching, and learning support staff at school to identify students who would benefit from additional support with their communication, conduct a range of assessments, and provide targeted intervention, either directly or indirectly, to help students meet their learning and communication needs. Our speech pathologists provide regular professional learning to our school staff to equip them to support students in the classroom and provide recommendations to our families to best support their child’s communication at home. Emily and Thea are passionate about using evidence-based approaches, connecting with students to make sessions engaging and functional, prioritising generalisation of student’s gains to their everyday learning and home environments and up-skilling our staff to ensure we are providing the most tailored approaches for students of all needs.
