Build a Confident, Capable AHA Team Without Adding to Your Workload
Hiring an AHA shouldn’t mean doubling your supervision hours. This workbook gives your assistants the clarity, structure, and confidence they need to approach difficult sessions from day one.
It replaces repetitive explanations with ready-to-use guidance, allowing you to focus on billable work while knowing your AHAs are following evidence-based, NDIS-aligned practices.
You gain time, consistency, and peace of mind—without sacrificing quality.
Standardise Your Onboarding and Strengthen Your Whole Team
Most clinics patch together AHA training using verbal instructions, scattered documents, or ad-hoc supervision. This workbook becomes your complete onboarding framework.
It creates a shared language and consistent expectations across your entire team.
AHAs walk into sessions prepared; clinicians stop repeating themselves; your business operates with the professionalism and efficiency of a larger practice.
Grow Your Clinic Sustainably - Without Burning Out Your Clinicians
A well-trained AHA is one of the most powerful ways to increase clinic capacity.
With our tip sheets, your AHAs can confidently support Speech Sound Therapy freeing up your senior staff for higher-level work.
This means more available appointments, improved outcomes, and a business that grows without relying solely on clinician hours.
It’s smart, scalable practice management.

Questions About Our Full AHA Manual
Is this workbook suitable for brand new AHAs?
Absolutely. It was designed for beginners and includes explanations, examples, visuals, and templates that build confidence from day one.
Does this replace supervision?
No. It enhances it. AHAs still require SP supervision, but this resource dramatically reduces supervision time by providing clarity upfront.
Can I edit the templates?
Templated forms can be printed as-is; editable versions can be purchased separately if desired.
Does this cover therapy planning?
It covers AHA preparation, session setup, and executing SP-designed plans — not creating plans (which is outside AHA scope).
Is this suitable for multidisciplinary clinics?
Yes. Any practice using AHAs for speech support will benefit.
