Professional Development & Workshops

Are you looking to learn more about early speech and language development? Perhaps you have students with speech and language needs at your centre or a team of Early Childhood Educators who are keen to review their knowledge of early language milestones. Ruby Speech Therapy offers workshops and continuing education for a variety of educators and audiences.

Invest in our workshops and allow your staff the opportunity to grow and learn how to better support students with speech, language and literacy challenges. This professional growth is not only enriching, but will also enable your staff to make a significant impact on the lives of your students. You can become a driving force in fostering your students’ development and helping them reach their full potential!

See the Change: Empower Yourself and Watch Your Skills Flourish

As a result of our comprehensive speech therapy workshops, you will experience tangible improvements in your abilities and approaches. You'll find yourself:

  • Becoming more confident: With a deeper understanding of speech and language development, you'll approach your role as educator with newfound confidence.

  • Developing expertise: Through hands-on practice and expert guidance, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to support students with speech and language delays, as well as know when to encourage an outside referral for additional services.

  • Promoting inclusivity: As your staff members incorporate neurodiversity-affirming practices in your classroom or centre, they will become key players in transforming your school or childcare centre into an inclusive and welcoming environment for all learners.

  • Enhancing your teaching strategies: You’ll learn practical tips and techniques for integrating pre-verbal skills and encouraging gestures, to incorporating phonological awareness and executive functioning skills into free play.

We work with you to tailor the workshop to the needs of your staff & students.

Workshops can be delivered in-person or online to suit the needs of your team.
