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.

What WA helps with

Comprehensive Speech Pathology Assessment

High-quality, individualised assessments to ensure the best outcome for your child.

Early Language Development

Therapy and support to help children build understanding and use of language — including vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension and conversational skills. Delivered by a speech pathologist, it addresses both what a child understands and how they express themselves.

Speech Sound Development

Intervention for speech sound development and articulation.

Play and Social Skills

Support for play and social skills development in children.

Stuttering

Specialised speech pathology support for children and adults who stutter. Therapy may target fluency techniques, communication confidence and reducing anxiety around speaking, with approaches tailored to age and the nature of the stutter.

Neurodiversity Affirming Practice

Services delivered with a neurodiversity affirming approach.

Literacy Support

Targeted teaching and therapy to help children develop reading, writing and spelling skills, including support for dyslexia, language disorders and learning difficulties. Structured, evidence-based approaches build the foundations of literacy from the ground up.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

Support for individuals who have difficulty communicating verbally, using tools such as picture boards, speech-generating devices and apps. AAC therapists assess communication needs and teach both the individual and their support network to use these systems effectively.

Gestalt Language Processing

Intervention for children using gestalt language processing.

Mealtime and Feeding Skills

Support for mealtime management and feeding skills development.

Parent Coaching

Guidance and skill-building for parents and carers to better understand their child's development, manage challenging behaviours and build a warm, secure relationship. Programs may be one-on-one or delivered in groups and draw on evidence-based frameworks tailored to the family's needs.

Assistive Technology

Assessment, recommendation and training in tools, devices or software that help people with disability participate more independently in daily life. This can range from communication apps and adaptive cutlery to wheelchairs and environmental controls.

Our approach

Every child communicates in their own unique way, and the approach centres on helping children embrace and develop their individual communication style with confidence and spontaneity. Sessions work closely with parents and caregivers as partners, believing they are the experts on their child and empowering them with knowledge, skills and strategies to support communication development at home. The practice is evidence-based and collaborative, with a strong focus on creating client-centered goals that reflect what matters most for each family. Both mobile and clinic-based services are available, offering flexibility to suit your family's needs. Sessions aim to foster not just communication skills, but also happiness and confidence in how your child expresses themselves.

Working with families

Parents and caregivers are viewed as the true experts on their child and are actively involved in developing goals and strategies tailored to the family's priorities. The practice emphasises working closely with families to empower them with knowledge, skills and strategies they can use at home to support their child's communication development. This collaborative partnership between the provider and family is central to the approach, with parent input highly valued throughout the process.
