👶 Do you have a baby under 12 months? I'd love for your family to be part of my research!

I'm looking for families with babies who were born at full term and didn't need time in special care or the NICU. Taking part is straightforward — after an initial phone call to go through consent, everything happens via telehealth from the comfort of your home, plus a few short questionnaires to complete in your own time.

📢 I'm especially looking for babies who are:

0–4 weeks old — with or without a tongue tie
Around 6 months old
Around 9 months old

Your participation helps build a better understanding of infant development and could make a real difference for families in the future. 💙

I'm extremely disheartened to read the NDIA pricing recommendations. I'm not one to post much, but as a small mobile practitioner I'm lucky I have other public work, so I can continue traveling to families with complex dysphagia needs all over Melbourne at a reduced cost and if this goes through, at a loss for me at times.

These recommendations will mean a reduction in choice and access for families, which boggles my mind when I think back to why NDIS was created in the first place. I think it will lead to less small practices and great pressure on public services when participants cant travel into clinic or to an appropriate provider.

This post by Kate Hoad speaks to my thoughts and is also a great service user/ practitioner summary (original post from Rainbow Speech Pathology thank you for sharing)

I honestly, truly try not to write posts like this often. I’m usually too busy doing the actual work—with my team, with my family, with my clients. And this is the second post recently I've felt drawn to write about NDIS changes. But they're real, they impact me, they impact my family, and they ...
