Dr Bronwyn Sutton

I am a Speech Language Pathologist and Educator with a passion for working with autistic children and their families.

I believe that coaching parents is crucial for a child's progress and development. I help parents understand their child's unique ways of communicating, as well as what he/she needs for positive social experiences and a successful life. I am a neurodiversity-affirming therapist with a focus on understanding why a child is struggling and responding with empathy and support.

To deepen my knowledge about autism, I pursued postgraduate qualifications in Education, along with a Master of Special Education in Autism and Early Intervention. My PhD research focused on utilising iPad technology to facilitate emotionally safe social interactions for autistic students. I also serve as a sessional lecturer at Griffith University and frequently lecture on autism to allied health professionals and teachers.
