Hi everyone! I’m Deirdre and I’m a speech pathologist who absolutely loves working with children. I am based in the eastern suburbs and open to tutoring and casual baby sitting too. I have experience in taking care of babies right up to tutoring 18 year olds.
I have studied child psychology, development and a wide range of conditions including the speech language and communication needs of children with special needs. I am confident I can help support your little one in their learning and play.
I have looked after a number of children in the Eastern suburbs as a nanny and casual babysitting. I also work part time as a speech pathologist working with babies up to 18 year olds and everything inbetween.
I tutor a wide range of children including those requiring speech and language support . I work on reading comprehension, expressive language and narrative skills, figurative language all based on the Australian curriculum and tailored to the child’s unique learning needs. I work extensively online and in person to help children access their learning and employ a multi sensory approach to aid memory and recall. Working memory is a huge part of a child’s success in learning and multiple strategies for aiding memory is essential for school progression. Get in touch and we can discuss where your child is at and we can set some joint goals to help them along their journey of where they want to be to achieve their goals for this school year !
