Hi! I’m Laura and I’m the Clinic Manager and a Senior Speech Pathologist at Words In Motion Speech Pathology.

I completed my Bachelor of Speech Pathology at La Trobe University in 2009 (Wow! Has it really been 15 years already?!) before embarking on an amazing professional adventure which took me all around Australia from the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, to Darwin in the Northern Territory, Sydney, Brisbane, and finally back home to Melbourne.

Throughout this incredible journey I have had the opportunity to work in a range of multidisciplinary allied health teams and clinical settings, including hospitals, remote community outreach programs, community health centres, mainstream and special education schools, and private practice.

I love working with children of all ages and with a diverse range of support needs. I am particularly passionate about supporting children with speech sound disorders, including Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and a strong advocate for Neurodiversity Affirming practice.

As a parent of two young children myself I am focused on ensuring that families feel well supported, confident, and empowered to best support their child’s ongoing growth and development.
