Thea has been attending speech therapy session with her KidzWish speech pathologist Chris. Read her story below to here about her journey. Thea is a 5-year-old girl who likes to play and has lots to say. A few years ago, when she first started preschool, Thea spent a lot of her time under a table not communicating. Since then she has made steady progress in sharing her play and ideas. This year she has made great strides in communication. Where in January she spoke mainly in single words, she is now using multiple sentences, which although they are difficult for everybody to understand, communicate her ideas and play. She loves to share a joke. She talks about books, drawings and rocket ships. Recently she has made two friends at pre-school and initiates play with them.

We’re so excited to announce The KidzWish Wild Christmas Adventure (formally the KidzWish Christmas Party) will be held at Symbio Wildlife Park on 2nd December. Due to restrictions, this day is invite only and tailored specifically for our KidzWish children. We would like to say a big thank you to @symbiowildlifepark for making this possible. We would also like to thank event sponsors @finance_control and @morgans.wollongong for their generous and ongoing support. We can’t wait!
