  • Our approach

    JL Speech Pathology provides a supportive and collaborative approach to therapy, working hand in hand with parents and children to help them flourish in their day-to-day lives. Sessions are 45 minutes long and feature interactive activities, play-based therapy tailored to each child's needs. The provider designs purposeful, fun activities paired with pragmatic tools for parents to encourage experiential learning. All sessions work towards deliberate communication goals customised to your child's specific needs, whether in articulation, language, AAC, literacy or social communication.

  • Working with families

    Parent and carer involvement is central to the clinic's approach, with Jane Luk emphasising a collaborative partnership to support your child's communication development. Pragmatic tools are provided to parents during sessions so you can reinforce learning at home. The clinic maintains open communication to help families understand how therapy supports their child's needs and independence in everyday situations.

  • Your first visit

    At the initial appointment, the clinic provides speech, language and literacy assessments to understand your child's communication needs. The provider also offers autism assessments to support an autism diagnosis if required. Following assessment, the pathologist works collaboratively with you and your child to identify tailored communication goals. The clinic is located in Bayswater North and operates Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with mobile visits and telehealth options also available if needed.

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?

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.
