  • Our approach

    The Speech & OT Co. uses a neurodiversity-affirming, child-centred approach that celebrates all bodies, brains, and learning styles. Sessions are flexible and can happen in the clinic, at home, school, or early learning centres depending on what works best for your family. The therapy is fun, engaging, and evidence-based, with a strong focus on teaching practical strategies you can use every day. Therapists work collaboratively with families to support children in developing communication, social, and everyday life skills in an inclusive, strengths-based environment. Sessions are designed to help children thrive while learning new skills at their own pace.

  • Working with families

    Family involvement is central to the provider's approach, with collaborative, family-focused care woven throughout their service delivery. The team works with parents and carers to teach practical strategies that can be used every day at home and in the community. Communication and partnership with families happens from the very first contact, with the team guiding you through the intake process and beyond. Regular collaboration ensures that therapy goals align with what matters most to your family and that strategies learned in sessions support your child's everyday life. The flexible service options—whether at home, school, or clinic—are designed to fit around your family's needs and routines.

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.
