ABOUT BELINDA

Belinda Binney, founder of Playful Connections Speech Pathology in the Adelaide Hills, smiling.

Hi, I’m Belinda

I'm a certified practising speech pathologist based in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia.


I support families and educators navigating communication and developmental differences with a warm, individualised approach, backed by experience, training, and genuine care. 

My Story

A bit about me

 I’m a Mum to three beautiful Neurodivergent kids,  I’ve walked this road from both sides — as a parent and as a professional.   While every family is different, I understand the messiness, the vulnerability, the exhaustion, the love and impact of fluctuating capacity on everyone’s lives. 


My approach is grounded in lived experience and shaped by the families and children I’ve worked with over the years. I know how important it is to feel seen, heard, and supported when navigating things like late talking, delayed milestones, or questioning a diagnosis.


I also know the power of small wins — the moment a child makes a request independently, or a parent feels confident advocating at school. That’s what keeps me going.

My Approach and Background

Experience and Focus Areas

Futher training and certification

Futher training and certification

 I regularly lead community workshops on Neurodiversity Affirming supports, drawing from my personal experiences as a parent and clinician, as well as high-level professional development. My goal is to provide insightful, impactful training for educators, parents and community groups.


I love working with late talkers and Neurodivergent children, offering home-based strategies to enhance communication skills and support behaviour challenges linked to language development. I'm also skilled in implementing Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to help every child find their voice.

What you can expect when working with me

Authenticity

 I’ll always be real with you — no jargon, no judgement. 

Family-Centred

 You know your child best. I’ll support you to feel confident and capable, whatever your needs or learning style. 

Lived Experience

 I bring personal insight into neurodivergence, parenting, and navigating systems.   I’m passionate (and a little fierce) when it comes to justice. Your child’s voice will be heard!  

Evidence-Based

 I draw from up-to-date research and professional training to support best outcomes. 

Dependability

 I value clear communication and reliability. I’ll show up for you and your child because I’m all-in! When I care, I REALLY care - you can expect 110%.  

I’m a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist and member of Speech Pathology Australia.

 I have over 15 years of experience, working across community health, education, and private practice settings and supporting children aged 0–12. I regularly engage in professional development focused on child development, communication, play, autism, ADHD, trauma, sensory processing, and more. 


I offer individual therapy, parent consults, and educator workshops — all using a neurodiversity affirming, relationship-based approach. 

Based in the Adelaide Hills

 I work with families both locally and across South Australia, including via telehealth to the Riverland.
