Director / Speech Pathologist

Jaimi-Lee Jefferies

Jaimi‑Lee is a creative and compassionate speech pathologist who is passionate about helping people improve their lives. She loves supporting children, young adults, and families to express themselves more clearly — whether through building confidence in writing, strengthening communication skills, or empowering them to share their thoughts, ideas, and needs.

Since graduating from Curtin University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Human Communication Science (Speech Pathology), Jaimi‑Lee has worked extensively in private practice and in language development schools. This experience has given her a deep understanding of the challenges children face with learning and communication, and how best to support them.

She has a special interest in working with individuals on the autism spectrum and with ADHD, helping them develop skills and understanding in language, literacy, and relationship building. Jaimi‑Lee has completed a Certificate in Autism Diagnosis through the University of Western Australia and has trained in several evidence‑based programs, including PROMPT(speech motor planning), Lidcombe Program (stuttering), Talk 4 Writing (language & Literacy), Sounds Write (structured synthetic phonics) and many more. 

Jaimi-Lee has extensive experience in support literacy skills across the lifespan, from learning about speech sounds as a young child, learning to read and write in primary school, through to high school essay writing and supporting higher education through tafe and university. She is passionate about the relationships between literacy and mental health, understanding that much of our education system is taught and assessed through literacy, and incorporates a growth mindset that identifies and values strengths into her sessions. 

More recently, Jaimi‑Lee has developed a keen interest in Orofacial Myology (OFM), which focuses on the muscles of the face (lips, tongue, cheeks) and their role in speech, breathing, mealtimes, and sleep. She has completed intensive training in this area and has seen firsthand how simple exercises can lead to significant improvements in sleep quality, dentition, food acceptance, and speech clarity. OFM has now become a cornerstone of her practice.

Above all, Jaimi‑Lee brings genuine care and warmth to her work. She values building strong relationships with families and takes pride in helping each child grow in confidence, feel successful, and reach their goals.

Outside of work, Jaimi‑Lee enjoys spending time with friends and family, attending her church connect group, exploring her creativity through crafts and projects, and connecting with nature.
