Our approach
At The Speech Hub, therapy is strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming, designed to help each child feel understood, confident, and capable. Sarah works primarily in school settings, tailoring support to how your child learns, communicates, and connects in their everyday environment. The approach is informed by current research and best practice, with practical strategies that fit into your child's school and family life. Sessions focus on real-world communication needs, whether that's language and literacy, social skills, peer relationships, or school participation. Rather than focusing on deficits, the philosophy celebrates what your child can do and builds from their strengths.
Working with families
Sarah believes that children achieve their goals when they have a team around them, and that team starts with you, the family. Communication is a priority—she listens to your concerns, takes time to answer your questions, and keeps you informed about your child's progress. The service is mobile, offering appointments at your child's school, preschool, or home, which makes it easier for families to be involved in therapy without disruption to daily routines. Sarah works collaboratively with teachers and other professionals in your child's life, so everyone supporting your child is working toward the same goals. Family-centred care means your child's therapy is tailored around what your family needs, not the other way around.
Meet the team
The Speech Hub is led by Sarah Archer, a certified practising speech pathologist with over 20 years of experience. Sarah works primarily in school settings and has established relationships with local preschools, schools, and other health professionals in the community. While the website does not detail additional team members, Sarah partners closely with teachers and families as part of each child's support team. Her experience and community connections mean she can coordinate care alongside other professionals involved in your child's life.
Your first visit
At your first appointment, Sarah takes time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions about your child's communication. This is an opportunity for you to discuss how your child communicates at home and school, and for Sarah to understand what matters most to your family. You can decide together whether this is the right fit for your child's needs. The initial meeting is family-centred, meaning Sarah tailors the conversation around what your family needs and what you're hoping to achieve. This ensures the therapy plan, if you move forward, aligns with your child's real-world environment and your family's priorities.

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.
