  • Our approach

    Sessions at Child Development SPOT are designed to be enjoyable and engaging, set in a bright, colourful clinic space filled with equipment that encourages learning through play and movement. The therapists use a holistic approach, with the team working together across speech pathology, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy to support each child's development. Rather than traditional exercises, children have opportunities to climb, swing, jump, bounce and interact with purposefully designed spaces and equipment that make therapy feel like fun rather than a chore. The experienced therapists build relationships with each child and discover individualised ways to help them achieve their goals. The clinic is specifically designed so children look forward to coming to their sessions.

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.
