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 Jigsaw Autism Services, therapy uses Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) supported by developmental play-based learning to address the core challenges of autism. Each child receives an individualised treatment plan based on research-evidence practices. Parents and carers are viewed as co-therapists and are taught strategies and techniques to use in everyday interactions with their child, making therapy a natural way to connect and learn together in a supportive environment. Sessions take place in Jigsaw's fully equipped learning centre designed for best-practice early intervention autism treatment.

Working with families

Parents and carers play a pivotal role throughout therapy at Jigsaw. They are taught specific strategies and teaching techniques that they can implement as part of their everyday experiences with their child. The service views parents as co-therapists, supporting them to interact and connect with their child through a highly supportive learning environment. This family-centred approach is embedded in the service delivery model.

Meet the team

Jigsaw's team includes a qualified Autism Teacher/Practitioner, Occupational Therapist, Speech Pathologist, and Psychologist, all highly skilled in their respective disciplines. The service operates using a trans-disciplinary approach, meaning all therapy goals and treatment plans are coordinated by one service provider. This integrated model ensures service efficiency, cost-effectiveness, reduced burden on families, and more coherent intervention plans with holistic service delivery.
