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.

What Kidlets helps with

Initial Assessment

A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.

Individual Clinic Consults

45-minute (or 30-minute if recommended) one-on-one therapy appointments offered Monday-Thursday, with late evening appointments available. Includes home programs to support intervention.

School-based Consults

Therapy sessions at the child's school to support engagement in learning and address social or play skills, with teacher collaboration.

Small Group Intervention

Small group sessions throughout school terms or as intensive school holiday programs, enabling children to develop skills with peers facing similar challenges.

Telehealth Services

Therapy, assessment and consultation delivered remotely via video call, allowing families to access support from home without the need to travel. Telehealth sessions cover most services including psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and counselling.

Transition Programs

School Readiness and High School transition programs offered in Semester Two, also available as holiday intensive programs.

Neuro-affirming Social Skills Groups

Small group social skills programs facilitated by Speech Pathologist, offering SEA Bridge and Social Stencil programs for children of similar ages and skillsets.

Speech Pathology Screening

Up to 30-minute screening assessment to evaluate a child's language abilities, with short report provided. Full assessment may be recommended based on screening outcome.

Handwriting Assessment and Intervention

Up to 60-minute assessment to identify skill breakdowns in handwriting, with intensive programs often recommended to support skill development.

Hippotherapy

Medical quality equine movement incorporated into OT intervention for clients who may benefit from this approach.

Functional Capacity Assessments

A comprehensive assessment — typically conducted by an occupational therapist or allied health professional — that evaluates how a person's disability or health condition affects their ability to carry out daily tasks. The report is used to determine NDIS funding needs and plan appropriate supports.

Training and Parent Education

Training offered to organisations and parent education sessions available throughout the year for active, inactive and prospective clients.

Our approach

Kidlets provides evidence-based, goal-directed interventions tailored to each child's individual needs. Sessions focus on building independence and skills across areas like motor development, handwriting, self-care, communication, and sensory processing. Both occupational therapy and speech pathology adopt family-centred approaches, with sessions held in the clinic, at school, or via telehealth depending on what works best for your child. Therapy is offered in blocks aligned with school terms, and small group options allow children to learn alongside peers with similar challenges. The clinic also integrates unique approaches like hippotherapy—using equine movement as a therapeutic tool—to engage children's sensory and neuromotor systems.

Working with families

Parent education and input are central to the service. A parent consultation is included as part of the initial assessment process before goals and recommendations are finalised. The clinic offers parent education sessions throughout the year available to active, inactive, and prospective clients to further knowledge and upskill parents. School-based consultations include collaboration with your child's teacher to create a successful and engaging environment, and home programs are provided alongside clinic appointments to support intervention.

Your first visit

Your initial assessment is up to 1.5 hours and includes face-to-face evaluation using both standardised and non-standardised measures tailored to your child's specific concerns. The clinician will assess your child's skills across multiple areas relevant to your presenting concerns. Following the assessment, you'll have a parent consultation—either by videoconference or in person—where goals and intervention recommendations are discussed before finalisation. A comprehensive written report is provided for all assessments, which identifies where support is needed and establishes a baseline to track progress.
