But for many families, accessing speech therapy and educational support feels impossible – long waitlists, high costs, and limited availability make it difficult to get the help their child needs.
That’s why we’re here. Through innovative, sustainable, and accessible speech therapy solutions, we help children overcome communication and learning challenges while empowering parents with the knowledge and tools to support them at home.
I’m Lorna Muthamia, a speech pathologist, educator, and advocate for making speech therapy more accessible to families who need it most.
I’ve spent years building sustainable models of speech therapy in underserved areas, building systems that ensure children receive the support they need—whether through clinical services or home-based programs.
📍 Trained at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and started my career there.
📍 Moved to Nairobi, Kenya, where I worked for over 10 years developing speech therapy systems in a country where only a few qualified speech pathologists serve a population of over 50 million.
📍 Founded the largest speech therapy clinic in East and Central Africa, helping thousands of families gain access to services that didn’t exist before.
📍 Returned to Melbourne in 2021 and saw the same challenges—speech pathology shortages, long waitlists, and limited access for families.
📍 Earned my Master’s in Applied Research from La Trobe University, deepening my expertise and commitment to evidence-based practice.
That’s when Learning Re-Imagined was created – to provide new ways for families to access speech therapy services, whether through direct clinical care or structured home-based programs.
Raising three children while homeschooling for the first eight years of my children’s formal learning period has given me a deep understanding of child development, learning challenges, and the importance of adapting to each child’s needs.
It has also shaped the way I approach speech therapy, because I know what it’s like to be a parent searching for the best way to support a child’s growth.
I do not just see challenges. I see opportunities to create solutions. Whether it is finding better ways to make speech therapy accessible or developing new approaches to learning, my work is driven by a constant need to improve, simplify, and innovate.
For me, business is not just about running a company. It is about creating meaningful impact.
I have built and scaled speech therapy services in both underserved and high-demand areas, proving that barriers can be broken when we rethink how support is delivered.
I believe nothing should be taken at face value. I thrive on questioning old ways of thinking, exploring new perspectives, and refining my approach based on what truly works. If something can be done better, I want to find a way.
At Learning Re-Imagined, we offer two pathways to support your child’s communication and learning development:
(For families seeking one-on-one therapy with our team)
Our in-person and virtual speech therapy sessions provide individualized support for children facing challenges with speech, language, literacy, stuttering, auditory processing, and more.
(For parents who want structured, expert-led guidance at home)
I have created online courses for parents wishing to learn how to employ evidence-based practices when working with their children—from the comfort of their own home, with or without traditional speech therapy services.
The children who experience the biggest breakthroughs are those with parents who:
✔ ️ Are committed to the process and take an active role in using the right strategies at home.
✔ ️ Want to learn how to help their child beyond therapy sessions, turning everyday interactions into opportunities for growth.
It happens every day, in small moments, when parents have the right knowledge and tools to support their child.
The comfort zone has never been comfortable for me. I believe that if something can be done better, it should be. That is why my work focuses on finding solutions that make a real difference in the lives of children and families.
Through years of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the areas that create the biggest impact for children struggling with speech, language, and literacy.
The earlier a child gets support, the easier it is for them to develop strong communication skills. I focus on strategies that help late talkers build a foundation for speech.
Reading, spelling, and writing are essential for a child’s success in school and beyond. I help children strengthen these skills so learning feels easier, not frustrating.
When a child struggles to say certain sounds, it affects their confidence and ability to be understood. I work on refining speech clarity so they can communicate with ease.
Encouraging deeper thinking, reasoning, and conversation skills so children can express their thoughts clearly. Did you know that analytical skills will be one of the most highly sought after skills in the jobs of the future?
Supporting children with cleft-related speech challenges to improve their ability to speak confidently.
Helping children who struggle with fluency learn techniques to speak smoothly without frustration.
Teaching children how to process and understand spoken language more effectively, so they don’t feel lost in conversations.
Why We Exist (Core Purpose)
Every child deserves the ability to communicate, learn, and connect with others—because these skills shape their future.
We are committed to improving the communication, learning, and social skills of children so they can reach their full potential. By equipping parents, educators, and caregivers with evidence-based knowledge and strategies, we ensure that children receive the support they need, both at home and beyond.
How We Make This Happen (Mission)
We challenge the traditional limitations of speech therapy by creating innovative, accessible, and sustainable solutions that allow more children to receive the support they need.
Through clinical services, home-based programs, and parent education, we are proving that real progress doesn’t have to be limited by long waitlists, high costs, or lack of access.
A future where every child has access to effective speech therapy, regardless of their location, financial situation, or available providers.
We envision a world where:
✅ Speech therapy is accessible and sustainable for all families.
✅ Children have the learning opportunities they need to grow, succeed, and thrive.
✅ Parents, educators, and caregivers are equipped with the right tools to actively support children’s communication and learning.
We are working toward a world where no child is left behind simply because they couldn’t access the right support at the right time.
