Kites Children's Therapy Tasmania

📣 We’re moving!

But only on our social media platforms!

To bring our Kites community together in one place, the Kites Tasmania Facebook account will be closing on 25 September 2026.

From now on, you’ll find all the latest Kites news, updates, stories and information on our national Kites page.

This has no impact on the services we deliver in Tasmania which will continue as usual.

We’d love for you to continue being part of the Kites community, so please make sure you’re following the Kites page before this page closes.

Communication is about more than words. It’s about connection, choice, participation and being understood.
As Speech Pathology Week comes to a close, we celebrate our speech pathologists and the work they do every day to support people to thrive.

💬 Celebrating Speech Pathology Week with our Kites team!
This Speech Pathology Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the people who help children find their voice, build confidence and reach their communication goals.

Meet one of our wonderful Kites speech pathologists, Becc who joined the team in April 2025.

When asked what led her to speech pathology, Becc shared:
“I began studying when I had three young children and a fourth on the way. I was looking for something within the health professions that I could study part-time and online – and speech pathology was one of the only options. I’m so glad this is what I chose, as it combines all my strengths and interests into one great profession!”

For Becc, one of the most rewarding parts of the role is seeing the difference therapy can make.

“I love seeing the progress that my clients make, which then has a huge impact on their ability to communicate and, in turn, their quality of life.”

And her advice for anyone considering a career in speech pathology?

“It can be a challenging path to get here, but it is worth it! It’s a great career for people who like problem-solving, lifelong learning and helping others.”

At Kites, Becc especially values the organisation’s person-centred approach and commitment to excellence.

“I love working with kids to help them reach their goals.”

This Speech Pathology Week, we’re celebrating our speech pathologists and the meaningful difference they make every day. 💙

Communication opens opportunities to participate – at home, at school, at work and in the community.
This Speech Pathology Week, we celebrate the speech pathologists helping people communicate and participate in the ways that matter to them.

Everyone deserves to have a say in the things that matter to them.
Speech pathologists support people to communicate their choices, preferences, needs and ideas – helping their voice be heard.

Being able to communicate, in whatever way works for you, helps create connection and a sense of belonging.
Today we celebrate the role speech pathologists play in supporting people to express themselves and be part of their communities.

💬 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. 💙

Every step forward matters. 🌱
Speech pathologists support people of all ages to develop their communication skills, build confidence and work towards goals that are meaningful to them.
