  • Our approach

    Sessions focus on helping children communicate in the way that works best for them, whether that's developing clear speech sounds, building language skills for self-advocacy, or learning to read and write. Play is central to the approach—the provider embraces all types of play and helps children find joy and meaning in it while developing communication skills naturally. Sessions can happen online via teleheath, at your home in a familiar environment, or at your child's school or preschool. The philosophy is neurodiverse-affirming, recognising that all brains are different and supporting each child's individual sensory needs and communication style.

Do I need a referral to see a speech pathologist?

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.
