Workshop with Lauren Haskins

A practical, reflective and evidence-informed webinar that moves cultural responsiveness from theory to action – across all stages of therapy.

Cultural responsiveness is not a one-off conversation. It’s a continuous practice that must be meaningfully woven throughout the entire therapy journey.

In this practical three-hour webinar, Nikita Westbury, Aboriginal Speech Pathologist and Director of Eat. Speak. Repeat., will guide participants through a deeper understanding of how to embed culturally responsive practice across all stages of paediatric speech therapy.

Using A Growing Understanding’s three stages of service: Identify & Understand, Improve & Develop, Implement & Generalise, this session explores how cultural responsiveness influences everything from assessment and goal-setting, to intervention, coaching, and progress review.

With a focus on real-world examples and reflective practice, Nikita will challenge participants to move from awareness to action – equipping you with strategies to create more inclusive, respectful, and impactful services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and more broadly across diverse communities.

What you’ll learn:
