  • Our approach

    At Speech For Kids, therapy is about having fun and developing relationships with families to build children's confidence in communicating and interacting with others at home, school and in the community. The provider works with a broad range of approaches including individual therapy, group programs, workshops, and school-based services. Sessions are tailored to each child's needs, whether that's learning first words, making speech sounds, developing sentences, improving literacy or building social communication skills. The philosophy centres on talking and listening together to support children and young people across different ages and developmental stages. Family involvement is built into the therapy model, with an emphasis on supporting parents to help their children learn both in sessions and at home.

  • Working with families

    Parent education and support is a core pillar of the Speech For Kids approach, with dedicated programs addressing common parent questions about language development, behaviour, school readiness and social skills. The provider recognises that families need support to understand their child's communication needs and offers workshops and guidance to help parents assist their children. Therapy is designed to build family confidence, and the service works collaboratively with families and the broader community including schools, early childhood centres and other allied health services. Communication extends to providing letters for doctors, reports for schools and assessments as requested by educators and families.

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.
