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

Small Great Things Child Therapy provides engaging, community-based Speech Pathology services tailored to each child's unique needs and their family's preferences and interests. Sessions take place in the child's home, kindergarten or school setting, with both individual and group therapy options available. The service is built on a philosophy that values the child, parents, caregivers and education staff as experts in the child's life, and recognises the important information they contribute. Sessions are designed to be compassionate and individualized, with a focus on helping each child reach their full potential while honouring their background and experiences.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to the service. The initial consultation includes discussion of your family's goals and routines, and caregivers' input is gathered during assessments to inform therapy planning. The service is explicitly family-focused and values parents and caregivers as experts in the child's life. You can contact the team directly via email at admin@smallgreatthings.com.au for any enquiries, feedback or appointment bookings.
