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.

Our approach

TALK Speech Pathology uses evidence-based practices to assess children and select goals that have the biggest positive impact on communication skills. The team works closely with children and their families, understanding that speech pathology is integral to developing communication, learning, social skills and confidence. Sessions address a range of areas including speech sounds, talking and listening, eating and feeding, spelling and reading, fluency, stuttering, and social skills. Therapy is structured to be productive and reap significant rewards through careful assessment and goal selection tailored to each child's needs. Services are provided across preschools, schools, homes and clinic locations in Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Working with families

Your speech pathologist will support you with ideas and strategies for application at home, with short, regular practice bursts recommended as most effective. Support can be offered incidentally during play and simple home-based activities, making it easy to integrate into your daily routine. The administration team will greet you in person at clinic locations or answer questions over the phone. Services are delivered across homes, preschools and schools as well as clinic settings, allowing flexibility in how you engage with the service. The team understands that involving families is key to helping children develop communication, learning, social skills and confidence.

Meet the team

Your first visit
