About Laura D’Amico
I love hanging out with my friends and family, travelling and the beach! I love working with children and adults to develop their communication skills, and I feel so lucky to be able to do this everyday at Raymond Terrace Therapy.
I am a Newcastle local, and have completed many placements in the Newcastle area. I have worked at Raymond Terrace Therapy for multiple years as a Therapy Assistant, prior to my graduation in 2023.
Qualification and Professional Development
University of Newcastle | Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours)
Graduated in 2023
PD: I am looking forward to completing professional development courses to continue my learning!
Clinical Areas of Interest
I am passionate about all areas of speech pathology, but I have a special interest in early intervention. In particular, I love working in the paediatric feeding space and with speech sound difficulties.
Favourite Approaches to Therapy
I like to use a functional approach to therapy, and understand the goals of clients, and select appropriate therapy based on these goals.
I especially love using play-based therapy with children, as they have lots of fun, and multiple speech pathology areas can be targeted!

Raymond Terrace Therapy is such an amazing workplace, as I get to work alongside other allied health professionals who I can collaborate with, to achieve the best outcomes for clients. I also feel so lucky to be able to work in this supportive and special community of Raymond Terrace, and with such incredible clients!
