Meet Jacinta Law
With nearly 20 years of experience as a Speech Pathologist, I've worked across private practice, non-profit organisations, and specialist disability services, supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. My career has spanned roles as a clinician, clinical educator, advanced clinician, mentor, and service developer, giving me a deep understanding of the importance of person-centred care and collaborative support.
For the past 10 years, I've focused on supporting children, adults, and families in private practice, offering comprehensive speech and language therapy alongside specialised services in:
- Autism diagnostic assessments
- Motor speech therapy
- Literacy and learning support
- Complex feeding and swallowing difficulties
- Early intervention
- Orofacial myology
At Tutti Speech Pathology, I work alongside neurodiverse individuals of all ages and their families, supporting a wide range of communication and feeding needs across diverse cultural backgrounds. My approach embraces the whole family, empowering parents, carers, and support networks with practical strategies that create meaningful change.
Therapy sessions are designed to be fun, playful, accessible, and multi-modal, using approaches embedded in natural environments while remaining grounded in research-informed practices to help every individual thrive.
The name Tutti — a musical term meaning "all together" — reflects my belief that the best outcomes are achieved when families, support teams, and clinical expertise work in harmony. Together, we create personalised, collaborative plans that support communication, feeding, and overall development across the lifespan.
Beyond my professional life, I'm a classical violinist and music teacher, holding an Associate Diploma of Music since 2001. My clinical expertise has enabled me to adapt violin teaching for neurodiverse students who may not otherwise access traditional lessons. As a mother of two young children, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of parenting, which adds depth and authenticity to my clinical work with families. When I'm not working, I enjoy travelling, pilates, crocheting, making terrariums, dancing with my husband, and sharing music moments with my family. These experiences outside of work keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of finding joy in everyday moments.
