Hi, I’m Rose! I completed a Bachelor of Speech Pathology in 2003 (Flinders University SA). Over the past two decades I have worked in a broad range of settings, but always with kids, as that is my absolute passion! Some of these settings included:

• multidisciplinary teams with the Education Department working in schools

• heading up a pilot project in a child-care centre advocating for early intervention for toddlers and young children

• working overseas (Falkland Islands) providing therapy for students with special needs in the mainstream setting, with a focus on Augmentative and Alternative Communication systems and home-based services in remote communities

• allied health coordinator in a special developmental school supporting students with autism, intellectual disabilities and other special needs

• early intervention for an autism specific service provider offering home-based family-centred practice

I am a Hanen-certified speech pathologist for the programs ‘It takes two to Talk’, ‘More than Words’ and ‘Talkability’.

In September 2012 I established Words in Motion Speech Pathology with a business partner. Since this time, the business has flourished and my passions have diversified to becoming a mother of three and becoming the sole owner and Director for a fabulous staff team.
