Welcome to my speech and language website.
I am an Australian Speech Language Therapist and an Advanced Certified Autism Specialist, living in Bangkok since 2014.
I started this website shortly after moving to Thailand, to promote awareness and to serve as a guiding tool for parents who are looking for updated, evidence-based ways to support their child's speech development. The articles on this website are all content which I have written, unless guest writers are otherwise credited. There are no advertisements on this website.

My Qualifications
After completing my studies in Psychology, I did a Master of Speech Language Pathology at the University of Sydney because improving
a person's communication has such a huge impact on their quality of life.
To me, language is a powerful way to connect with others. I speak, read, and write English, Arabic and Thai. I am currently learning to speak Mandarin and to speak French.
