  • Our approach

    Current evidence-based approaches guide therapy sessions, which use fun and relevant materials and activities tailored to help children improve their communication skills. The philosophy is family-based, meaning parents and carers are involved in the process. Sessions focus on practical, meaningful activities that engage children while working towards their communication goals. The provider has nearly 20 years of experience working with children across various settings including schools, preschools and private clinics, bringing this expertise to each session.

  • Working with families

    The provider uses family-based approaches, meaning parents and carers are central to therapy. You can contact the clinic by phone or email to discuss your child's needs and keep informed about progress. Sessions may be delivered at school, kindy, home or via telepractice depending on what works best for your family.
