Bilingual Speech SPOT｜廣東話 × 兒童發展 × 跨專業照顧｜Speech Therapy in Cantonese

**嘉賓：**Christal @playtherapyincantonese 係一位喺墨爾本執業嘅遊戲治療師同治療師督導員,亦都係Chloe相識多年嘅工作夥伴同好朋友。今集重點：點樣培養 高度敏感 小朋友嘅自信同自我價值

今集重點：

• Christal大女三歲嗰陣有明顯語言遲緩嘅真實故事——講嘅嘢十個字有九個聽唔明—大女點樣由三歲講嘢聽唔明,變成而家喺交響樂團拉小提琴(仲有出國交流嘅機會),甚至有人畀錢請佢畫畫。
• 點解好多幼兒教育工作者驚咗唔敢同家長講小朋友嘅發展疑慮,同埋點解「種一粒種子」咁重要——即使家長第一次聽完冇反應。
• Christal點樣用「依附育兒」(Attachment Parenting)嘅方式,揹住高敏感嘅大女到接近兩歲,同埋佢點樣靠閱讀大量兒童發展文獻,而唔淨係憑直覺,去做呢個決定。
• Christal點樣將細女偏悲觀、高敏感嘅性格,重新演繹做一種「超能力」,同埋佢用嘅一種認同式對話技巧,點樣令細女願意打開心扉。
• 好多家長喺處理仔女之間「你錫邊個多啲？」呢條問題時會跌入嘅陷阱,以及溫和管教(Gentle Parenting)同縱容管教(Permissive Parenting)之間真正嘅分別。

Key takeaway: Building a child's confidence and self-worth is a multi-year investment, not a quick fix — there's no single magic phrase, but consistent, informed effort (and honest communication from the professionals around a child) compounds over years.

本集嘉賓是Joanna,香港大學(HKU)言語治療博士課程的最後一年學生,現正以訪問學人身份到訪Monash大學交流。Joanna的研究結合言語治療與遊戲設計——她設計的遊戲化練習工具,能將重複又枯燥的口肌和聲線治療家課變成好玩的遊戲,適合小朋友和成人使用。而她踏入這個行業的過程本身,也絕不平凡:她最初讀的是工程學系,後來透過一次極罕有的校內轉系(Internal Transfer),成功轉讀香港大學的言語治療。

節目內容

• 「遊戲化治療」實際上是什麼樣子:Joanna設計的iPad嘴唇練習遊戲,發「衣」音(嘴唇拉平)會獎勵一塊餅,發「烏」音(嘴唇縮圓)會獎勵一杯水——訓練嘴唇形狀和唇封閉能力,幫助進食和飲水安全。https://swallow.edu.hku.hk/understanding-swallowing/swallowing-gym/
• 具體的依從率數據:遊戲組平均練習量達到處方練習量的約200%,傳統紙筆組則只有約78%——部分參與者超過1000%,其中一位甚至達到約1700%。
• 為什麼由裝置直接收集的數據,比自我報告的紙本紀錄更能反映真實練習情況。
• Joanna的第二個工具:Pitch Glide高低音遊戲,透過音調升降訓練喉部上提的肌肉,未來甚至有機會應用在帕金森症病人常用的LSVT聲線治療計劃上。
• 遊戲化治療的限制:如何將遊戲中學到的技巧帶回日常生活(例如真正進食、真正對話),以及Joanna如何從設計階段就加入日常生活元素(如食物、飲品)去解決這個問題。
• 為什麼APP不能取代治療師:設定合適目標、隨進度調整練習難度,以及最重要的——教導照顧者(家長)如何在家中提醒和陪伴練習。
• AI在言語治療未來的角色:AI是一個「放大器」,可以處理重複性和行政性工作,讓治療師有更多空間專注於臨床判斷和人與人之間的連結——而不是取代治療師。
• Joanna的從業故事:自修生物科考試、成功率極低的校內轉系經歷,以及在開學前僅僅幾天才收到獲批通知——而當年回覆她電郵的招生導師,後來成為她現在的博士導師。

重點一句話

當在家練習變得像玩遊戲而不是做功課,病人不只會完成處方練習,甚至會超額完成。Joanna的研究發現,遊戲組平均練習量達到處方的約200%(相比傳統紙筆組的78%)——這提醒我們,真正推動持續練習的,是投入感,不只是指示。

This episode features Joanna, a final-year PhD candidate in Speech Pathology at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), currently at Monash University as a visiting exchange scholar. Joanna's research sits at the intersection of speech pathology and game design — she builds gamified exercise tools that make repetitive oral-motor and voice therapy homework feel like play, for children and adults alike. Her own path into the profession was anything but conventional: she started in an Engineering degree before making an exceptionally rare internal transfer into Speech Pathology at HKU.

如果孩子十個月大已經懂得說很多單字，一歲時各項發展甚至比同齡孩子快，你會否想過，他後來會被診斷為自閉症譜系障礙（ASD）？

Isa Pin 是一位育有年幼 ASD 兒子的媽媽，現居香港，曾在悉尼生活多年。成為媽媽前，她是一名執業律師，其後轉型成為婚禮攝影師。現在，她除了經營網上事業，亦協助其他媽媽——包括不少特殊／額外需要兒童（SEN）的媽媽——建立具彈性的收入來源，讓她們毋須在工作與陪伴家人之間二選一。

在社交媒體上，Isa 一直坦誠分享自己的 SEN 育兒歷程：從發現孩子的發展變化、等待評估、面對確診，到夫妻之間對管教方式的分歧。她反覆提醒家長一件容易被忽略的事：照顧孩子之前，也要先照顧好自己。

本集內容

• Isa 的兒子十個月大已有很多單字，一歲時各項發展指標甚至領先同齡孩子，為何在一歲至一歲半期間突然停滯？
• 從重複 YouTube 影片和故事內容的仿說（Echolalia），到完全欠缺危機意識，哪些早期跡象令 Isa 開始懷疑孩子可能有 ASD？
• 從一歲半察覺異樣，到兩歲半正式確診：香港母嬰健康院兩度建議「再觀察」，這一年對家庭意味著甚麼？
• 為何確診並沒有帶來晴天霹靂，反而令 Isa 感到「終於鬆一口氣」？
• 澳洲 NDIS 讓六歲以下兒童毋須正式確診也可申請早期支援；香港卻往往要等到確診後才能取得服務。兩種制度如何影響孩子的黃金介入期？
• 一所規模不大、資源有限，卻願意接納孩子的主流幼稚園，如何陪伴 Isa 的兒子走過充滿起伏的 K1？
• 當孩子非常想要某件事時，可以說出完整流暢的句子；沒有動機時，卻幾乎不回應。這種「有能力但未必會使用」的溝通模式，家長應如何理解？
• 在家中，應否容許孩子自由地進行刻板行為（Stimming）和仿說，還是需要訂立更多規範？Isa 與丈夫如何面對彼此的管教分歧？
• 香港兒童六歲後可能面對甚麼支援斷層？家長又可以如何及早準備？
• Isa 給 SEN 家長的三個提醒：教育自己、建立社群，以及堅定地為孩子發聲。

今集最重要的訊息

對 SEN 家長而言，自我照顧不是奢侈品，更不是自私，而是支撐整個家庭走下去的根基。

Isa 說，這條育兒路可能長達二十年，甚至更久。家長需要把自己的健康、運動和支援社群放回生活之中。因為一個已經油盡燈枯的人，再愛家人，也很難繼續付出。

孩子是一顆種子。環境是泥土。家長未必能控制種子何時開花，卻可以努力為他準備一片願意理解、接納和陪伴他成長的土壤。

Isa Pin is a former lawyer, wedding photographer, online business owner, and mother of a young autistic son. After noticing changes in his development at 18 months, she spent almost a year seeking answers before he was formally diagnosed at two and a half.

Isa’s message to parents is simple: this is a long journey. Looking after yourself is not selfish—it is what allows you to keep supporting your family.

如果我們根本無法預測孩子二十年後的世界，今天還可以為他們準備甚麼？

Winnie Wu 在悉尼經營多項事業，包括醫療診所，並與意大利籍丈夫 Carlo 一同撫養兩名年幼女兒。在她的家中，英文、意大利文和廣東話每天交錯出現；商業、歷史、政治、金錢與世界大事，也可以自然地成為親子對話的一部分。

Winnie 是一位商業教練，也是一位對自己要求很高的媽媽。這一集，她沒有提供一套「成功育兒公式」，而是以最直接、未經修飾的家長視角，分享自己如何在規範與自由、堅持與放手、文化傳承與現實生活之間，不斷調整教養方式。

本集內容

• Winnie & Chloe為何把育兒比喻為種花？父母的角色，是決定孩子要成為甚麼，還是提供適合他成長的土壤？
• 面對人工智能與充滿不確定性的未來，她刻意為女兒培養哪兩種能力：數理邏輯與解難能力，以及理解歷史、政治和世界運作的視野。
• 在英文、意大利文和廣東話並存的家庭中，三語育兒的現實是甚麼？為何當全家人又累又餓時，最方便的英文總會不自覺地「勝出」？
• Winnie 為何把六歲女兒從嚴格、講求規範的芭蕾舞，轉到較自由奔放的拉丁舞？
• 當孩子說「我不想學」，父母應該尊重她的選擇，還是再推她一把？Winnie 如何分辨真正沒有興趣與暫時怕辛苦？
• 教孩子說「請、謝謝、對不起」，究竟只是在訓練表面禮貌，還是在建立重要的社交工具？Chloe 與 Winnie 對「外在行為」和「內在良知」有甚麼不同看法？
• 在創業家庭中成長，如何改變孩子理解機會、金錢、風險和解決問題的方式？
• 睡眠訓練在書本上看似有理，為何真正面對一個哭泣的孩子時，所有理論都可能瞬間失效？
• 作為一位高成就、同時兼顧多重角色的媽媽，Winnie 如何面對「想給孩子最好的一切」所帶來的壓力？

今集最值得帶走的思考

你無法強迫一顆種子開成玫瑰，也不能預先設計孩子將來會成為哪一種人。

父母能送給孩子最「面向未來」的禮物，未必是一張精密的人生藍圖，而是一片足夠豐富的土壤：廣泛的生活體驗、紮實的邏輯思維、理解世界的視野，以及在跌倒後重新解決問題的能力。

給孩子方向，也給他空間；提供養分，卻不替他決定如何開花。

「我的孩子英文比廣東話好」是真的嗎？

你是否曾經這樣想過：「我的孩子的英文真的比廣東話好」？如果你搜尋過「孩子廣東話還是英文較強」、「雙語孩子哪種語言比較強」，你並不孤單。這個想法在香港家長、在澳洲的廣東話移民家庭中，同樣普遍。

我在《Bilingual Speech Spot Podcast》第24集，邀請了認識超過十年的老朋友——小雨姑娘（香港學前言語治療師），一起拆解這個迷思。

What I Learned Comparing Notes With a Speech Therapist in Hong Kong

I've known Little Ms Feather for over a decade. We met in Hong Kong before I started speech pathology training. A few months ago I discovered her Cantonese podcast and had absolutely no idea it was her.

So of course I got her on Bilingual Speech Spot.

小朋友聽到，但係咪真正「聽得明」？

有啲小朋友聽力測試正常，日常卻經常聽漏指令、容易分心、喺嘈雜環境跟唔上對話。呢啲表現究竟係注意力、語言理解問題，定係近年備受爭議嘅「聽覺處理障礙」（APD）？

今集，Chloe 邀請到 Winnie——一位先喺香港修讀言語治療、再喺英國取得聽力學資格嘅雙重專業人士。憑住言語治療同聽力學兩方面嘅訓練，Winnie 會同我哋拆解「聽得到」同「處理得到」之間嘅分別，亦會比較英國 NHS、香港同澳洲嘅治療生態。

我哋亦會揭開英國公共醫療制度背後嘅現實：漫長嘅言語治療輪候時間、所謂嘅「郵遞區號彩票」，以及點解你住喺邊個地區，可能直接影響孩子能否獲得支援。

今集內容包括：

• 英國 NHS 言語治療轉介流程，問題通常出現喺邊一環
• 乜嘢係「郵遞區號彩票」，點解服務差異可以咁大
• 「Right to Choose」計劃原本點樣幫助家庭，點解近年逐步收緊
• 聽覺處理障礙（APD）究竟係乜，常見表現有哪些
• 點解 APD 診斷一直充滿爭議：症狀重疊、測試標準不一，以及難以同語言或注意力問題區分
• 懷疑 APD 前必須先做嘅一步：完整聽力評估，以及排除中耳積水（glue ear）
• 家長同治療師可以即時使用嘅支援方法，包括減少背景噪音、調整課室位置及使用遠端麥克風系統
• 英國、香港同澳洲執業環境有咩不同，對治療師同家庭有咩實際啟示

今集唔係要急住為孩子貼上 APD 標籤，而係幫助家長同專業人士更有系統咁理解：當一個小朋友「好似聽唔到」時，我哋究竟應該由邊度開始調查，又可以點樣提供真正有效嘅支援。

Your child can hear—but are they truly processing what they hear?

Some children pass a standard hearing test, yet still miss instructions, become easily distracted, or struggle to follow conversations in noisy environments. Are these signs of attention difficulties, language comprehension challenges, or the highly debated condition known as Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)?

In this episode, Chloe speaks with Winnie, a dual-qualified professional who trained in speech pathology in Hong Kong before qualifying as an audiologist in the UK. With expertise across both speech pathology and audiology, Winnie explains the difference between being able to hear sound and being able to process it. She also compares the therapy landscape across the UK NHS, Hong Kong, and Australia.

We also explore the reality of accessing public speech therapy in the UK, including lengthy waiting lists, the so-called “postcode lottery,” and how where a family lives can directly affect whether a child receives support.

講故事冇人聽？做Presentation聲音唔夠自信？原來呢個技巧，仲可以改變一個人嘅人生……

六月係LGBTQIA+ Pride Month，而transgender voice therapy正正係一個好重要嘅議題。所以喺呢個六月，我哋想將呢個聲音治療嘅技巧帶給你。

你有冇諗過，講故事用嘅變聲技巧，同性別肯定聲音治療,其實用嘅係同一套科學原理？

今集我哋會帶你睇兩個好唔同嘅應用場景：

🎭 點樣用Pitch同共鳴,令你講故事、做presentation更有吸引力
 💨 一個簡單嘅"暖聲"技巧，presentation前用得著
 🌈 呢套原理點樣應用喺幫助跨性別人士搭建一個更貼合自己嘅聲音
 🗣️ 點樣喺「authority」同「femininity」之間取得平衡

特別鳴謝 Dr. Yeptain Leung 喺聲音治療同性別肯定聲音治療上嘅專業分享！

🎧 即刻收聽，發現聲音可以改變嘅,遠遠超過你想像！

Struggling to hold a room with your voice? The same technique that fixes that can also change someone's life.

June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, and transgender voice therapy is such an important topic — so this June, we wanted to bring this voice therapy story to you.

What if the voice modulation tricks that make storytelling and presentations land are built on the exact same science as gender-affirming voice therapy?

In this episode, we explore two very different worlds — through one shared set of techniques:

🎭 How pitch and resonance work can make your storytelling or presentations more compelling
 💨 A simple "vocal warm-up" technique you can use before any presentation
 🌈 How those same principles apply to helping transgender individuals build a voice that feels truly their own
 🗣️ How to balance authority and femininity within a single voice

Special thanks to Dr. Yeptain Leung for his clinical expertise in voice therapy and gender-affirming care.

🎧 Listen now to discover just how much your voice can do.
