  • Our approach

    Sessions at Wanneroo Area Speech Pathology are designed to be short and intensive, recognising that many children concentrate better in shorter periods. The provider works collaboratively with parents to build your confidence in delivering intensive intervention at home, where most of the learning happens. Your child begins with a screening assessment to determine if speech pathology intervention is needed, followed by further assessment if required. An individually tailored programme is created based on your child's specific needs. Most sessions happen fortnightly, though some children may benefit from more frequent therapy. Between sessions, parents are given home activities to complete at least four times per week to support progress.

  • Working with families

    Parent involvement is central to the therapy approach at Wanneroo Area Speech Pathology. You are encouraged to attend all sessions so you can understand your child's individualised programme and learn strategies to support their progress. At the end of each session, you receive a set of home activities that are designed to extend the therapy work and should be completed at least four times per week. This partnership between the clinic and home is essential because the provider recognises that meaningful progress depends on consistent practice and reinforcement beyond the therapy room.

  • Your first visit

    At your first appointment, your child will receive a screening assessment to determine whether speech pathology intervention is needed. This initial session helps the provider understand your child's strengths and areas for development. Depending on your child's age and the complexity of their learning needs, further assessment sessions may be recommended to gather more detailed information. The clinic recommends that parents attend all sessions so you're involved from the start and can learn how to support your child's progress at home.

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.

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.
