Molly Wignes

Listening and Spoken Language Specialist

Hi, I'm Molly. 

After graduating with my Master of Science in Deaf Education from Washington University in St Louis (USA) in 2012 I moved to Adelaide. While my husband and I originally planned on having a 3-year adventure living in Australia, we fell in love with Adelaide and were very excited to finally get our Australian citizenship in January 2024.

I have spent the last 12 years working with children with hearing loss and their families.

In 2020, I completed a 3-year international certification in Auditory-Verbal Therapy, which means I'm now a certified Listening and Spoken Language Specialist.

In the Cora Barclay Listening and Spoken Language program here at Can:Do 4Kids, I work with children who wear hearing aids and cochlear implants who are learning to listen and talk. It is a privilege to work with families and their children, seeing them from newborn stage right through to when they head off to school. I love the relationships we form as I walk alongside them through their hearing loss journey.

I am passionate about using speech acoustics to maximise audiology fittings, teaching self-advocacy and device management skills to kindy-age students so they can participate well in mainstream schools, and running group programs that support the development of school readiness and phonological awareness skills. I’ve also recently begun running our Music Matters group, developing early listening and language skills through music with several of our toddlers.

When I'm not at work, I love to spend time with my own two sons, go for a run, drink a nice coffee, and head to the beach.
