Alas, I have not one artistic molecule in my body; and no knowledge of modern art. So, when I found myself milling about the Sydney Contemporary art fair last week, I did what any mystified speech pathologist would do and revised some key irregular past tense verbs. 

Lots of my clients with developmental language disorders are good at art, so I thought they might enjoy mixing language therapy with contemporary art. Then I thought others might like to do it, too.

So, here are some of my favourites:

Thanks to all the artists for showing their works. You can (and should) read all about them and their incredible work here
