We recognise that children need support with their communication and language skills for a variety of reasons. The ability to communicate is a human right. That’s why we work with any child – those simply needing extra support, with or on the path to developmental delay/difficulty, disability or neurodivergent. Our speech pathologists support children with a wide range of disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, social emotional difficulties, trauma and behavioural differences.
Our speech pathologists focus on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and intervention of speech, language, communication, voice and fluency disorders. We also work with you and your child to address challenges relating to speech sounds, reading, writing, eating, play, self-advocacy, and social participation and inclusion.
We help your child improve their language skills, including vocabulary, grammar and comprehension.
Language skills are not always spoken. That’s why we support trials of different AAC (augmentative alternative communication) devices to help non-speaking children and young people access a language system that works for them. Our speech pathologists are experienced in a range of AAC interventions and can work with you to design, trial and implement the right system for your child.
Our speech pathologists support children of all ages with their literacy skills and help them become confident learners. We can also work with your child’s classroom teacher to support their literacy development at school.
Our speech pathology services include helping your child speak more clearly so others understand them more easily for successful communication.
Therapy sessions include play to engage your child’s interest and maintain their attention as they develop and strengthen new skills. It’s a low-pressure and highly stimulating learning environment that motivates your child to build speech and communication skills to thrive in everyday life.
Our therapists help your child overcome stuttering and other fluency disorders using strengths and evidence-based approaches to improve their confidence when speaking.
We’re focused on supporting inclusion within the environments that are important to your child and your family. To build positive relationships in different spaces (such as school, community, park, and home), we help your child build the capacity to understand and express emotions, advocate for their needs and make friends.
