  • Our approach

    Language Connect uses a dynamic, evidence-based approach tailored to each child's needs, with both individual and group therapy options. Individual sessions are typically used for younger children or articulation work, and parents are encouraged to participate actively in these sessions to support their child's progress. Group therapy sessions are led by a qualified therapist with an experienced therapy aide and focus on developing social skills, social language, attention and focus strategies, phonemic awareness, and receptive and expressive language skills. The practice maintains a holistic approach to treating speech and language difficulties, drawing on a wide range of therapy resources. Sessions also support emerging literacy development at different levels of language competence.

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.
