About Kim
With over 14 years of experience, Kim is a dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist with a strong focus on paediatric communication and a deep commitment to neurodiversity affirming practice.
Kim is passionate about supporting children in the first five years of life and works closely
with families to build functional, meaningful communication that supports confidence,
connection, and participation in everyday life. Kim holds a Master of Speech Pathology Studies from The University of Queensland (2010–2011) and a Bachelor of Creative Industries (Drama and Theatre Arts) from Queensland University of Technology (2006–2010). Her creative background supports an engaging, child-centred therapy style, where play, connection, and communication are at the heart of every session.
Kim provides personalised, family-centred support through a sensory-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens. She has a special interest in supporting neurodivergent children and views communication as a whole-child experience—shaped by regulation, sensory processing, emotional safety, and relationships.
Kim’s clinical approach is grounded in affirming, strengths-based practice and focuses on building communication that is functional and empowering. She integrates evidence-informed frameworks and approaches, including PROMPT training, SCERTS, and DIR/Floortime, supporting each child’s development through connection, shared engagement, and individually tailored communication opportunities.
Kim is passionate about partnering with parents and caregivers, providing practical strategies that are meaningful at home, kindy, school, and in the community. Kim’s ultimate goal is to ensure that every child she works with has communication skills that shine brightly—so they can express themselves confidently, effectively, and authentically in all aspects of life.
