Inspiring the next generation of Speech Language Therapists (SLTs)

​Recently, Bronwyn and Chris, two of our SLTs, delivered a lecture to Speech and Language Therapy students at the University of Auckland.​

​Their session explored the important role SLTs play in adult cochlear implant rehabilitation — from supporting communication and hearing outcomes to providing psychosocial counselling and planning personalised rehabilitation programmes.​

​We were also grateful to be joined by our kiritaki/clients Annette, Keith, and Paul, along with Jackie, Paul’s wife, who shared their lived experiences with the students. Their perspectives added invaluable real-world insight and helped bring the rehabilitation journey to life.​

It was a great opportunity to raise awareness of this specialised area of practice and connect with students as they develop their clinical knowledge and skills.​

​We’re proud to share our expertise and support learning within the SLT community.
