About Therese
Melbourne Speech Pathologist Therese Ryan has spent over 25 years helping children and adults with Autism to enhance their relationships with friends, family and work colleagues through understanding their own communication profile and the interplay of communication in the world.
Social communication skills are critical to successfully negotiating relationships both personally and professionally. My client experience is in supporting Autistic clients whose lives are in the mainstream; students, professionals, partners, parents etc.
“I want my clients to understand their own communication and social preferences, stressors that impact their capacity to engage socially and strategies to meet their own social goals to create successful social outcomes. When people with high functioning autism understand their communication and the impact of communication in daily settings they can advocate for themself and come to a shared understanding of communication responses to create more fulfilling social outcomes”
