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?

Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.

Our approach

Sessions are tailored to each child's interests, strengths and learning style, whether delivered in the clinic, home, daycare, school or online. Therapy is play-based and engaging, particularly for younger children, with the therapist following the child's lead to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. The approach is evidence-based and focuses on real-world skill development, with strategies integrated into daily routines and natural environments. Regular feedback and collaboration with parents means families are coached on simple, practical techniques to support their child between sessions. Progress is celebrated at every stage, and therapy is adapted flexibly to suit the child's needs—children are never expected to "perform" or sit still if they're uncomfortable.

Working with families

Parents and carers are considered the child's best teacher and are actively involved throughout therapy. The therapist coaches families on simple, everyday strategies that can be incorporated into daily routines like bath time, reading, or mealtimes, so progress continues between sessions. Regular feedback is provided, and the therapist explains findings and recommendations at each stage. Home-based therapy particularly enables parents and carers to be naturally included in the process, and the team maintains open communication with daycare, preschool or school staff where relevant, ensuring a consistent approach across all environments.

Your first visit

The initial assessment involves the therapist talking with you about your concerns, observing your child's communication skills, and using assessment tools to evaluate speech, language or social communication. The therapist identifies your child's strengths and areas needing support, then develops a personalised therapy plan tailored to your child's needs and goals. At the end of the appointment, the therapist explains their findings, recommendations for therapy frequency, and how you can support your child at home. The assessment may take place at the clinic, your home, daycare, or school—wherever works best for your family.
