Amelia Griffin is dedicated to helping people who experience communication and cognitive challenges to express themselves. Her therapy practice and use of assistive technology is opening new ways to tackle communication disorders that result from conditions such as autism and dementia.
Amelia is the founder of My Mind Matters Therapy, a speech pathology practice and assistive technology company. Last year, she launched two apps to provide communication assistance to people with speech difficulties, offering a more affordable technology option. Both apps are widely used by speech pathologists, educators and aged care practitioners.
Amelia gives her time to help people with cognitive challenges, offering free therapy sessions to children and adults with dementia, running disability-inclusive soccer programs for children, and facilitating neuro-affirming social clubs for children who struggle with peer relationships. She also collaborates on research projects, mentors students, and volunteers with aged care facilities to support inclusive communication practices.
