This week is Speech Pathology Week so we are taking some time to celebrate the incredible work of some LiveBig’s wonderful Speech Pathologists. These dedicated professionals empower people to express themselves, connect with others, and live more independently. Whether it’s spoken, signed, written or supported through technology, communication is a fundamental human right – and our team is here to make sure everyone has the tools they need to be heard.
We’d like to spotlight two of our passionate Speech Pathologists, Millie and Cindy, whose work exemplifies the heart of what we do.
Meet Millie, one of our WA Speech Pathologists
Millie’s days are as dynamic as the people she supports. You’ll often find her travelling to meet participants in their communities – whether it’s a local library, a café or their home – tailoring each session to their unique goals. Her role is all about helping people improve their swallowing and communication, and she finds deep fulfilment in making a real difference.
One standout moment for Millie was helping a participant secure a much-needed communication device. Despite funding challenges, Millie’s thorough documentation and advocacy led to a successful outcome – giving the participant a voice and a renewed sense of independence.
Fun fact: Millie used to play competitive volleyball, in addition to being a fabulous Speech Pathologist!
Meet Cindy, one of our NSW Speech Pathologists
Cindy’s workday is a beautiful mix of variety and impact. She might start her morning supporting a child at preschool, then head to a supported accommodation for a mealtime assessment, and wrap up her day with report writing. No two days are the same, and that’s exactly what she loves about her role.
Cindy finds joy in the small wins – like helping a child with dyslexia read their first sentence with minimal support. That smile of achievement is what drives her to keep making a difference, one session at a time.
Fun fact: Cindy loves to cook a new recipe each month, we’ve got a budding chef in the team!
We’re grateful for the dedication, compassion and expertise of our Speech Pathologists. Millie and Cindy are just two examples of how our team go above and beyond to support participants in achieving meaningful goals. This Speech Pathology week, we celebrate and recognise their commitment to empowering lives through communication.
