Language Disorder Australia

Exciting times for Mancel College!

The Language Disorder Australia team has officially arrived in Adelaide and has set up for the ACEL Conference! ✨

Booth setup is complete, resources are out, coffee is needed ☕ — and we’re excited for a fantastic few days connecting with educators and leaders from across the country.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at the setup process 🎥

As proud Bronze Sponsors of this year’s conference, we can’t wait to meet everyone, share conversations about inclusive education and language, and showcase the work our team is doing to support schools and students across Australia.

Come visit us at our booth and say hello! 👋

Communication may include spoken language, written language, sign language, gestures, or the use of a communication device. Multi-modal communication (MMC) is an umbrella term that describes all of these methods.

Join our Senior Speech Pathologists Jordan Wellington and Ashton Moncrieff for a practical webinar titled: Multi-Modal Communication in the Classroom. This webinar unpacks how MMC supports participation, engagement and learning for all students.

This session will explore:
- Types of MMC in the classroom
- The benefits of MMC and common misconceptions
- Practical, evidence-based strategies to integrate and support multi-modal communication in the classroom.

This webinar is designed for school staff, allied health professionals, and anyone supporting students across their schooling journey.

📅 Date: Tue 23rd of June

✨ What a wonderful day 1 at the National Education Summit in Brisbane! where Language Disorder Australia exhibited today🎉📚

Our Senior Speech Pathologist / Team Leader: SSS, Meg MacKenzie 👏 spoke today at the Diverse Learners Symposium on Narratives That Connect: One Approach, Many Outcomes 🗣️💡 and shared how oral narratives can be used as a powerful, practical tool to support language, learning and belonging for students with Language Disorder and other diverse learning needs. ❤️📖

The response to the session was incredibly positive 🙌 It was so lovely to hear how many educators and professionals connected with the narratives as a way to support students in the classroom 🍎✨

A special mention to Athena Panagopoulos Senior Speech Pathologist / Senior Manager: SSS 🌟 for doing such a fantastic job MC-ing the Diverse Learners Symposium 🎤 and creating such a warm, thoughtful and engaging space across the day 🤝💙 Also, thank you to Louise Corran our Commercial & Administration Manager from Mancel College, for supporting the event and managing the stand.
