Speech Pathologist, Allsorts Developmental

Allsorts Developmental Services was founded in 2014 by Deb Bramhall with the goal of providing holistic, quality multidisciplinary services to children and their families. Allsorts delivers services across three locations and employs a variety of allied health professionals including speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and therapy assistants. Since its establishment, Allsorts has hired a team of Speech Pathologists including, but not limited to, Lucy Mitford and Anna Ferguson, both who continue to play a crucial role in the advancement of services, specifically in relation to the Allsorts Assistive Technology Hub.  This service was established by Deb and Lucy in 2018 to provide communication solutions to individuals in rural Queensland. In 2019 the AT Hub expanded to include occupational therapist and physiotherapists to support access to equipment for independence with activities of daily living and mobility.  Simultaneously, Allsorts continued to grow the diversity of its service delivery models, foster collaborative relationships with other local providers, establish a board of directors and begin developing new graduate programs to foster comfortability and confidence using assistive technology. Allsorts was delighted to bring on new graduate Anna in 2023 who, with her keen interest in AAC and support from Deb and Lucy, continues to develop her knowledge of assistive technology and the AT Hub service provision. Allsorts Developmental Services continues to develop innovative services and expand its AT Hub services and solutions with assistance from the presenting speech pathologists and the broader multidisciplinary team.
