Hello!
I’m Aisling, a paediatric speech pathologist with over six years of experience supporting children and young people aged 2–18. I hold a Bachelor of Speech Pathology with First Class Honours from Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast.
​
I work with children with a wide range of communication needs, including speech, language, literacy, stuttering, social communication, and alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). I have experience supporting children with autism, specific learning disorders like dyslexia and dysgraphia, intellectual disability, global developmental delay, ADHD, language delay, and complex speech disorders such as childhood apraxia of speech.
​
My special interest is in dyslexia and dysgraphia—I’m passionate about helping children learn to read and spell in ways that build confidence and independence.
​
Coming from a big family, I’ve always had a strong connection with children and a deep commitment to their development. I focus on creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel understood, encouraged, and empowered to reach their full potential.
​
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends. You’ll often find me walking along the Broadwater, planning my next adventure, or listening to a true crime podcast.
