Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.

What Alexandria helps with

Language

Therapy and support to help children build understanding and use of language — including vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension and conversational skills. Delivered by a speech pathologist, it addresses both what a child understands and how they express themselves.

Speech

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Stuttering

Specialised speech pathology support for children and adults who stutter. Therapy may target fluency techniques, communication confidence and reducing anxiety around speaking, with approaches tailored to age and the nature of the stutter.

Literacy

Targeted teaching and therapy to help children develop reading, writing and spelling skills, including support for dyslexia, language disorders and learning difficulties. Structured, evidence-based approaches build the foundations of literacy from the ground up.

Social Communication

AAC

Support for individuals who have difficulty communicating verbally, using tools such as picture boards, speech-generating devices and apps. AAC therapists assess communication needs and teach both the individual and their support network to use these systems effectively.

Play Skills

A therapeutic approach where children express and process emotions, experiences and difficulties through play — their natural language. A play therapist creates a safe space where the child leads and works through challenges at their own pace.

Parent Coaching

Guidance and skill-building for parents and carers to better understand their child's development, manage challenging behaviours and build a warm, secure relationship. Programs may be one-on-one or delivered in groups and draw on evidence-based frameworks tailored to the family's needs.

Our approach

Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and take place in familiar settings including home, school, telehealth, or the community to support progress while minimising disruption to daily life. The provider believes intervention should be a positive, engaging, and enjoyable experience for both children and their families. A range of services is offered including language, speech clarity, stuttering support, literacy, social communication, AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), play skills, and parent coaching. Each service is designed to help your child develop the specific communication skills they need, whether that's understanding and expressing language, improving speech clarity, building friendships, or developing reading and writing abilities. The provider works collaboratively with parents and carers as part of the intervention approach.

Working with families

The provider works collaboratively with parents and carers through a parent coaching service, empowering you with skills to support your child's communication outside of sessions. Family involvement is built into the intervention philosophy, with the belief that intervention should be a positive and enjoyable experience for both children and their families. By offering flexible sessions in familiar settings like home and school, parents and carers are supported to be part of their child's communication journey.
