Our approach
Hayes Speech Pathology uses functional, evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's needs and goals. Their certified speech pathologists work one-on-one with you and your child in therapy sessions that focus on practical, personalised care. The clinic collaborates closely with allied health professionals and families to develop solutions that are realistic and appropriate for your family. Whether your child is working on feeding challenges, speech development, or orofacial myology concerns, the team emphasises supportive, family-centred care designed to help your child reach meaningful outcomes.
Working with families
Family involvement is central to the clinic's approach, with the team working collaboratively with parents and carers throughout the therapy process. The clinic values documentation and input from other health professionals and carers, and welcomes this information when booking. Sessions are designed as one-on-one therapy where you and your family participate with the speech pathologist, and the team will work with you and other allied health professionals to help reach your family's goals. Telehealth and Zoom appointments are available if needed.
