Our approach
Whiz Kids Therapy takes an evidence-based, child-centered approach designed to build real-world independence and communication skills. Sessions embed learning within the digital environments children use every day—such as speech-to-text, read-aloud tools, and digital planning systems—rather than focusing solely on clinic-based exercises. The practice uses a structured team model where a speech pathologist oversees assessment, planning, and clinical responsibility, while therapy assistants deliver consistent, supervised intervention, allowing protected time for careful analysis and strategic program adjustment. Therapy is intentionally planned, regularly reviewed, and aligned with your child's goals across school, home, and community settings, with a focus on preparing children for the world they are growing into.
Working with families
The practice prioritises family collaboration and keeps parents central to decision-making. Parents are involved from the outset through questionnaires, feedback sessions to discuss assessment results and goals, and weekly updates during therapy. The team works to align therapy with family aspirations and supports informed consent at every step, ensuring transparent communication about how therapy connects to your child's school, home, and broader goals. Where possible, the practice uses secure digital platforms to reduce fragmented communication and improve clarity around shared goals, fostering a collaborative network between families, schools, and allied health professionals.
Meet the team
The team is led by Alexandra, the founder and a speech pathologist with a Master's in Speech Pathology and Bachelor of Social Work, bringing expertise from private practice, schools, and hospitals, alongside lived experience as a mother of two children with learning challenges. Ashleigh, a speech pathologist who graduated in 2017, specialises in school-aged children's speech, language, and literacy development, trained in evidence-based programs including Sounds-Write, Talk 4 Writing, and the Lidcombe Program. Patrick, a fourth-year speech pathology student and therapy assistant, brings expertise in literacy, fluency, speech, language, and AAC support. All team members hold current professional qualifications, maintain Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) status with Speech Pathology Australia, and hold current Working with Children Cards.
Your first visit
A first appointment includes a comprehensive assessment with multiple components to understand your child's needs. The process involves one-on-one assessments, observations in classroom or playground settings, parent questionnaires, and review of external documents such as school or allied health reports. Following assessment, there is an online parent feedback session to explain results, goals, and recommendations, culminating in a robust, evidence-based report using gold-standard tools to guide therapy and support any NDIS submissions if required. This thorough approach ensures therapy planning is grounded in your child's individual profile and family priorities.
