Meet The Team
Kate BroderickOccupational Therapist & Speech Pathologist
|
Kate
Broderick is both an Occupational Therapist and a Speech Pathologist, and the
Director of Sydney SPOT. Danielle Ryan joined the team at Sydney SPOT 4 years
ago, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a positive attitude that
benefits her clients and colleagues alike. Kate and Danielle share a passion
for providing quality care that reflects evidence-based practice and a respect
for clients and their families.
It was this passion that prompted both therapists to complete formal training in Orofacial Myology, a profession that has traditionally been practiced in the dental industry. Every aspect of this specialist training reinforced Kate and Danielle’s observations of barriers to progress in speech and swallowing therapy. The Sydney SPOT Tongue Thrust Clinic is now able to offer clients systematic and specific treatment programs to remediate dysfunctional oral-motor habits (such as a tongue thrust), or behaviours (such as thumb sucking or nail biting). Our service goes far beyond giving advice, suggestions or ‘tips’ – we are striving for success and want to manage issues that are true barriers to progress in speech therapy, with explicit and well managed programming. For more details regarding our experience, please feel free to look up our profiles on the Sydney SPOT website (www.sydneyspot.com.au), or contact us directly via phone or email! |
