  • Our approach

    At Inner West Paediatrics, therapy is personalised, child and family-centred, and designed around your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are holistic and targeted, drawing on an experienced team skilled across multiple developmental areas including occupational therapy, speech pathology, feeding therapy, and group programs. The focus is on building your child's skills and confidence while equipping you with knowledge, tools, and strategies to support them in their community. Therapists work closely with you to understand your child's needs and help you become confident in advocating for your child. Since 2014, the team has helped over 5,000 children and families through this tailored intervention approach.

  • Working with families

    Parents and carers are central to the therapy process at Inner West Paediatrics. Therapists work closely with you to identify and set goals, and you remain in the driver's seat throughout. The approach emphasises "teach you to teach them"—therapists equip you with professional insights, strategies, and tools so you can implement tailored approaches at home and beyond. You're supported to become the authority and advocate for your child, while the therapy team advocates alongside you, providing clarity about your child's needs and helping you navigate the path forward.

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.
