Kids Who Can

Walky Talky Therapy Hub

At Walky Talky, we believe in celebrating the incredible efforts of every child who walks through our doors. That's why we created Kids Who Can—a program dedicated to recognizing the hard work and determination of our amazing clients.

This initiative is all about celebrating the unique journey of each child in therapy. We want to share their stories of progress and resilience with our community to inspire other kids and their families.

We're honored to shine a spotlight on these incredible kids and the amazing strides they're making every day.

Henry

Henry has been part of the Walky Talky family since 2024, and in that time he has made such wonderful progress with his language skills.

This year, he started kindy and is doing so well — a milestone that fills his family with pride and shows just how far he has come.

From the very beginning, Henry’s sessions have been about following his lead. His Speech Pathologist, Chiara, takes a play-based approach, weaving therapy goals into activities that capture Henry’s interests. This keeps him engaged, comfortable, and eager to join in. “No learning would happen if children didn’t feel comfortable in the space,” his mum shares, and it’s this safe, trusting environment that has helped Henry thrive.

Henry and his mum both love coming to Walky Talky. For Henry, sessions are something he looks forward to each fortnight — they’re fun, but also gently challenging, with space for sensory breaks when needed. For his mum, it’s the balance of professional guidance and practical strategies that can be used at home that makes all the difference. By embedding therapy goals into everyday family routines, Henry’s progress has been steady, meaningful, and lasting.

A recent highlight was hearing from Henry’s kindy teacher, who shared that another teacher had noticed how well his speech is developing. This proud moment is a reflection of Henry’s hard work, his family’s commitment, and the support he has received at Walky Talky.

Henry’s journey is a wonderful example of how early intervention, combined with a supportive environment and family involvement, can help children achieve big things. He is truly a “Kid Who Can.”
