  • Our approach

    Anchor Therapy Services uses an affirming, family-centered approach grounded in the belief that children learn best through play in their daily routines and familiar environments. Sessions take place in your child's home, childcare, kindergarten, school or community setting, allowing therapy to be woven naturally into everyday life. The team is trained to support a wide range of needs, from developing communication and social skills to managing mealtimes and supporting emotional regulation. Therapists work with children to build confidence in their authentic communication style while developing practical skills across speech, occupational therapy, and early learning areas. This approach recognizes that every child learns differently and aims to help them discover new abilities in the contexts where they spend their time.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is central to the service, with therapy delivered within your child's natural routines and familiar settings—whether home, childcare, kindergarten or school. The family-centered approach means parents and carers are integral to supporting their child's learning across daily activities. This foundation allows therapists to work alongside families to build skills in real-world contexts that matter most to you and your child.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

It can be, usually under Capacity Building / Improved Daily Living, if it aligns with your child's plan goals. Check your plan or ask your support coordinator.

At what age should we see a speech pathologist?

There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

How long are sessions and how many will we need?

Session length varies between clinics and services, so check it with the provider when you book. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.
