Welcome to my speech and language page.
I am an Australian Speech Language Therapist and an Advanced Certified Autism Specialist, living in Bangkok since 2014.

I started this blog shortly after moving to Thailand, to promote awareness and as a guiding tool for parents who are looking for updated, evidence-based ways to support their child's speech development. There are no advertisements on this website. 

The drop-down menu above will take you straight to the content. And if you are curious, you can read about me below.

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 life quality. 

To me, language is a powerful way to connect with others. I speak and read English, Arabic and Thai.  I am conversational in Mandarin.
