  • Our approach

    Kids Feeding Specialists uses a child-focused, multidisciplinary approach that recognises mealtimes as a significant source of stress for many families. Sessions prioritise creating a safe, non-judgmental space where children can develop a positive relationship with food while their nutritional status is optimised. The team engages the whole family unit, offering practical strategies and education to help parents better understand and support their child's feeding difficulties. Every plan is tailored to the individual child's needs, with a commitment to neurodiversity-affirming practice. The goal is to foster enjoyable and rewarding mealtimes that support growth and development.

  • Working with families

    The provider is deeply committed to family involvement, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for families to share their experiences, concerns and wishes. Parents and carers are actively educated and supported to better understand and help their child with feeding difficulties, with the whole family unit considered when developing plans. The service offers both in-person and telehealth appointments, ensuring families can access support regardless of location. The team listens carefully to families' complex histories and works collaboratively to implement practical strategies tailored to each child's individual needs.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

No referral is needed to see one privately. You only need a GP referral if you want to access Medicare rebates or are going through certain funded pathways.

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.
