Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

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?

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 Brilliant helps with

Assessments

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Therapy

A broad range of structured, evidence-based talking therapies delivered by a registered psychologist or therapist to address mental health and emotional wellbeing. Psychotherapy explores thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour to bring about lasting positive change.

Screening

Early identification of potential challenges to guide intervention.

Training

Professional development, skill-building or information sessions delivered to groups of parents, carers, educators or practitioners. Workshops cover topics such as behaviour support, communication strategies, sensory processing and mental health.

Communication and Language Development

Help children express themselves and understand others by improving vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills.

Speech Sounds

Speech pathology therapy targeting the accurate production of speech sounds. Suitable for children who are difficult to understand or who make consistent errors with specific sounds, articulation therapy builds clarity through guided practice and home activities.

Fluency (Stuttering)

Techniques to help children manage stuttering behaviours and build speech confidence.

Literacy and Learning

Assistance with reading, writing, and spelling difficulties to support academic success.

Augmentative and Alternative 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.

Social Communication

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.

Our approach

At Brilliant Star Speech Pathology, the approach is family-centred, strength-based, and goal-oriented, with therapy designed around your child's unique needs and your family's goals. Sessions build on your child's individual strengths while addressing communication and language challenges in a neuro-affirming way that respects and empowers them to express themselves fully. Therapy is personalised and can take place in the welcoming clinic in Bella Vista or in familiar settings like your home, school, or childcare. Sessions are typically play-based and engaging, helping children learn through activities, games, and meaningful interactions. The focus is on creating pathways to help your child achieve their communication milestones and connect with confidence.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the approach at Brilliant Star Speech Pathology, with therapy designed with your family's goals in mind. The team equips families, caregivers, and educators with effective strategies to support your child's communication development at home, school, and childcare. Parents are kept informed through regular reports and progress updates as outlined in the Service Agreement, and the team is available to explain NDIS plans or help you understand how to use your child's funding. If you have questions about your plan or need guidance, the team is happy to walk you through the process and support you every step of the way.

Your first visit

At the first appointment, a comprehensive evaluation is carried out to identify your child's speech and language needs and understand your family's goals. Once you're ready to begin therapy, a Service Agreement is set up that outlines how often sessions will take place, the cost, cancellation arrangements, and when progress updates will be provided. This ensures everything is clear and agreed upon from the start. If your child has NDIS funding, the team will guide you through how to use it for speech therapy and can help communicate with plan managers or support coordinators. The initial assessment helps the speech pathologist create a personalised therapy plan tailored to your child's abilities and developmental stage.
