  • Our approach

    Therapy at Stepping Stones combines direct sessions with experienced clinicians, consultative support for families and educators, coaching for the adults in your child's life, and collaboration with other professionals. Sessions are designed to be engaging, playful, and strengths-focused, celebrating what your child can do rather than just working on difficulties. The service is grounded in evidence-based practice following the ECIA National Guidelines for Best Practice, incorporating principles of family-centred care, inclusion, teamwork, and functional skill development. Therapists work across home, school, and community settings to help your child communicate, participate, and thrive in all areas of their life.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is central to how Stepping Stones operates, with services designed around the principle that families are the centre of all support. The service includes consultative support and coaching to guide families, educators, and caregivers in understanding how to help their child, with a goal of empowering families to become their child's own therapist. Therapists provide resources, visual supports, and equipment to help your child participate across home, school, and community. The team works collaboratively with everyone involved in your child's care to ensure coordinated, consistent support.

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.
