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

Leapfrog Therapy uses evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming practices to support children's development. Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and goals, with therapists using the latest research to guide their work across occupational therapy and speech pathology. The team celebrates the incredible diversity in how brains function and collaborates closely with parents, teachers and other members of your child's team to ensure everyone is working towards the same objectives. Whether your child is in the clinic, at school, daycare or at home through telehealth, the approach focuses on practical strategies and support that make a real difference to daily life.

Working with families

Parents and carers are central to therapy at Leapfrog Therapy. You're invited to set goals together with the therapist, and your input shapes the direction of therapy. Therapists collaborate closely with parents, teachers and other members of your child's team, ensuring everyone is on the same page and working towards shared objectives. This partnership approach extends across all settings—clinic, school, daycare—so strategies are consistent and supportive wherever your child is. Regular communication and collaboration mean you're supported as an active partner in your child's therapy journey.
