Our approach

At ABC Speech Pathology, therapy is tailored to each child's unique communication needs and integrated into daily routines, making learning natural and effective. Sessions focus on building confidence and functional skills, whether children are working on speech clarity, language development, social interaction, or alternative communication methods. The practice uses evidence-based interventions and takes a family-centered approach, ensuring parents and caregivers play an active role in supporting their child's progress. Therapy is delivered in flexible, convenient sessions at home or school, allowing families to fit treatment into their everyday lives. The team believes that through personalised support, children develop the communication skills they need to thrive.

Working with families

The practice takes a family-centered approach, with parents and caregivers playing an active role in their child's progress and therapy planning. The team works closely with parents to set meaningful, practical goals and integrates therapy strategies into daily life and routines, so families can support their child's learning at home. Communication and collaboration with families is central to the service, ensuring that parents understand the therapy focus and have the tools to reinforce skills outside of formal sessions. By working together with families, the practice helps children develop communication confidence and independence.

Meet the team

The practice is led by Program Director Amanda De Cesare, who brings over 25 years of experience working with children with communication difficulties across diverse settings. Amanda is a skilled therapist and consultant who implements innovative therapy approaches that integrate speech and language development into daily routines. The team consists of speech pathologists who are trained in evidence-based interventions and deliver individualised therapy across a range of communication needs, including articulation, language disorders, social and pragmatic skills, and neurodiversity-affirming support. All staff work collaboratively to provide high-quality, personalised care to each child.

Your first visit

At the first appointment, the team conducts a comprehensive assessment to pinpoint specific areas of difficulty and identify the child's unique strengths and communication styles. This initial evaluation allows the speech pathologist to understand the child's needs and how they interact with the world. Based on the assessment findings, the team designs a personalized therapy plan with meaningful goals that are developed in close collaboration with parents. This plan integrates therapy strategies into the child's daily life, ensuring practical and supportive approaches that work for the whole family. The assessment process helps the team determine the best way to support each child's communication development.
