About Disability SPOT
Creating a sense of in our industry
Disability SPOT is a group of passionate Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists that are dedicated to presenting best practice seminars, as well as building networks and a sense of belonging and support to those working with people with disabilities.
Our aim is to promote continuing professional development, professional support and education on best practice. We provide opportunities for therapists to establish and expand their networks both within their industry, and wider a field. By doing so we are creating a collaborative community that supports each other over multiple topics.
With constant changes in our industry and the NDIS, it is becoming increasingly important for therapists to have access to professional support and best practice education, so that we can better support our clients.
As a not for profit, our community is run by a passionate group of therapists who volunteer their time to support, uplift and educate our members.
