The Role of an Allied Health Assistant (AHA)

The Role of an Allied Health Assistant (AHA)

In this episode, we chat with Allied Health Assistant (AHA) Lainie Perini from My Word Health to shine a light on a role that plays a vital part in many children's therapy journeys, but one that isn't always well understood.

We start by finding out how Lainie ended up working in this space and what drew her to it, before unpacking exactly what an Allied Health Assistant does — and how the role differs from that of a speech pathologist, occupational therapist, or physiotherapist. We explore the real benefits of having an AHA involved in a child's therapy team, and talk about when families might be offered AHA sessions as part of their care.

Lainie takes us through what a typical session looks like, from planning with the supervising therapist right through to post-session follow-up, and gives us an inside look at what that collaboration actually looks like behind the scenes. We also hear about her favourite part of the job, and what makes this role so rewarding.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or fellow allied health professional, this episode offers a great look into a role that supports so many children behind the scenes.
