💬 Celebrating Speech Pathology Week with Helena!
For Speech Pathology Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the people at Kites who help children and families achieve their communication goals.
For Helena, becoming a speech pathologist was inspired by a very personal experience.
“My sister has autism, and I grew up watching her have speech therapy on a regular basis. She was non-verbal but is now able to communicate verbally and live independently. This inspired me to want to help other families and give them the gift of communication.”
Now, after 10 years with EverAbility, Helena continues to find joy in supporting children and their families.
Her favourite part of being a speech pathologist is “watching them achieve their goals and milestones” – and she loves the variety that comes with her role at Kites.
“From AAC, speech and language to mealtimes, I get to do something exciting and different every day.”
And Helena’s advice for anyone thinking about becoming a speech pathologist is simple:
“Go for it – it’s an amazing profession! 🙂”
This Speech Pathology Week, we’re celebrating Helena and all our speech pathologists for the difference they make in the lives of children and families every day. 💙
