THE CONNECTED CHILD PILOT PROGRAM:
Speechcare is proud to be rolling out a pilot of The Connected Child Project across Sesame Lane Kindy & Daycare, Brisbane Adventist College and Shailer Road Community Kindergarten.

Is Your Local Daycare Next?
The pilot will bring Speechcare Speech Pathologists, teachers, AHAs and educators together to embed practical communication, regulation and inclusion strategies into everyday classroom and early learning routines, creating more connected and supportive environments for children, families and staff.
As part of this national rollout, Speechcare is also looking for 20 NEW Speech Pathologists across Australia to join The Connected Child Project and help pilot the program within early learning centres and schools in their local communities.
CORE PRINCIPALS:

Whole-Class First
Supports are embedded for everyone, not only children with identified needs.

Affirming & Strengths Based
Children are supported as capable communicators.

Access Before Expectation
We increase communication access before asking children to “perform”.

Model, Don’t Test
Educators model language, AAC, signs and visuals naturally.

Repeatable Across Routines
The same supports are used consistently throughout the day.

Educator Friendly
Strategies are practical, visible and easy to embed.

Responsive & Reflective
The environment is reviewed, refined and adapted over time.

Repeatable Cycle
Observe → Enrich → Model → Embed → Reflect → Refine
