  • Our approach

    Services are grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to each child's individual needs. The team prioritizes placing your child and family at the centre of their approach, recognizing that one size does not fit all. Sessions take place in the dedicated Allied Health Clinic in Cheltenham, at home, or in the wider community, with flexible times available across the week. The therapists work collaboratively with you to understand your child's needs and customize effective strategies and therapies. An interdisciplinary team approach means therapists work closely together to provide coordinated interventions supporting your child's physical, social, emotional, language, motor, cognitive, and social-emotional development.

  • Working with families

    The provider prioritizes collaborative support with families at every stage of therapy. They work closely with you to understand your child's needs, goals, and personal factors that can impact your ability to support your child's therapeutic journey—from your first call through to the successful completion of therapy. Communication channels are kept clear and open; for example, Service Agreements detail how providers may communicate changes and how you can discuss or vary these arrangements. The team values your feedback and invites you to share complaints, compliments, or suggestions through their Feedback and Complaints form to ensure they consistently meet your expectations.

  • Meet the team

    The team consists of dedicated health professionals across multiple disciplines including speech therapists, occupational therapists, behaviour therapists (ABA specialists), and psychologists. Therapists are specialists in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Delay. The website emphasizes that the team are compassionate professionals committed to supporting families throughout their therapeutic journey, working collaboratively and interdisciplinarily to provide evidence-based services. Specific qualifications and years of experience for individual team members are not detailed on the website.

  • Your first visit

    If you are new to therapy services, you will complete an online registration form that provides the team with specific details about your child's needs. The team will then reach out to you to discuss potential starting points and how best they could support your child's therapeutic journey. Your first appointment may include an initial consultation and assessment. The process is designed to be easy and welcoming, setting the foundation for understanding your child's individual requirements and goals. Throughout this initial phase, the team collaborates closely with you to comprehend your child's needs before moving into regular therapy sessions.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

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.
