• Your first visit

  The first step is to make an online enquiry, sharing basic details about your child's needs and your availability. The clinic contacts you within 2 business days to discuss your goals and book an initial assessment with one of their experienced speech pathologists. During this assessment, the team works to understand what's typical and what may benefit from early support, setting the foundation for personalised therapy. You'll receive clear information about your child's needs and a plan moving forward, with regular progress updates and reviews to keep therapy focused and effective.
