  • Our approach

    At Little Lionheart, children are supported to express themselves and develop a voice in their own therapy goals and intervention. The approach is strengths-based, working to understand the challenges your child faces and supporting them in overcoming these so they can grow with greater joy, freedom and connection. Sessions are built on fostering children's ability to communicate and be heard, recognising that every child needs the space and opportunity to do this. Therapists partner with families to empower children to realise their own abilities and potential, so they can continue growing independently.

  • Working with families

    Parent involvement is central to Little Lionheart's approach, with several parent programs offered including "It Takes Two to Talk", "Tuning in to Kids", and "More Than Words". The provider works to empower families alongside children, recognising that therapists are only part of people's lives for a moment in time and supporting families to realise their own abilities and potential. This partnership approach enables families to continue supporting their child's growth beyond therapy sessions.

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.
