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.

Our approach

At Guiding Star Academy, the holistic approach considers every aspect of a child's needs, with therapy focused on improving overall quality of life through increased participation and capacity building. Sessions are tailored to meet your child's needs and family goals, supporting both developmental milestones and daily life tasks like toilet training and self-help skills. The program works across multiple areas including sensory integration, fine and gross motor skills, social communication, and self-regulation. Whether through 1-to-1 individualised early intervention programs or social groups, each session is designed with your specific child and family in mind.

Working with families

Parent support is central to the academy's mission, with a dedicated focus on building parents' confidence, knowledge and skills to support their children's developmental growth. By understanding your child's needs, the team helps you feel equipped to support development both during and between sessions. Regular communication ensures parents are partners in achieving the goals set for their child.
