Rebecca Limmer

I completed my Masters in Speech Pathology at Curtin University in Western Australia and I was fortunate to join the wonderful team at Speech Pathology Tasmania in early 2019. After spending time between Western Australia and Tasmania, it has been fantastic to return full-time to the beautiful Tasmanian wilderness, where I now call home.

My introduction to speech pathology came while working in the disability sector, supporting adults with acquired brain injuries. This initial exposure led me to transition into working with children with various disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. Throughout my studies, I continued working in this field and found a deep passion for helping children. Witnessing both children and adults become empowered to communicate in ways they hadn’t before was incredibly fulfilling. I quickly realised just how broad and multi-dimensional communication is, and how vital speech pathologists are in unlocking these abilities. From then on, I knew I had found my calling.

Currently, I work as a generalist clinician at Speech Pathology Tasmania, and I love collaborating with children, adults, and their families to achieve their communication goals. I have a strong interest in supporting children with autism, helping them develop their language and social communication skills. Additionally, I am passionate about assisting children in building their literacy skills, ensuring they have the tools for success in both communication and education.
