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.
