Yarn Speech, founded by Oxford-trained Rebecca Keeley, addresses the critical issue of lengthy speech pathology wait times in Australia, which can extend up to four years. This innovative app provides evidence-based daily activities specifically designed for children aged 0-3, aiding families during the wait for in-person therapy. As some areas, particularly rural regions, suffer from accessibility challenges, Yarn Speech plays a vital role in supporting both families and speech practitioners by offering necessary tools and activities, thereby alleviating practitioner burnout and enhancing early language development.
Speech pathology should be accessible no matter where you live. Yet in rural and remote parts of Australia, families face significant barriers to access support.
This innovative intervention app bridges the critical gap between referral and treatment, offering evidence-based daily activities designed by speech pathologists for children aged 0 to 3 years.
