  • Our approach

    At Young Talkers, therapy sessions are delivered in your home, creating a comfortable and familiar environment where your child can relax and engage naturally. The service recognises that every child is different and needs a tailored approach to their specific communication needs. Elizabeth has extensive experience working with children and teenagers across all ages, with particular expertise in speech sound disorders, language development, literacy, and supporting neurodivergent children including those with autism and ADHD. Sessions are designed to be fun and meaningful, working on goals that matter for your child's everyday life and learning.

  • Working with families

    Parents and carers are encouraged to contact Young Talkers directly if they have concerns about their child's speech and language development, as parents know their children best. The mobile service means sessions happen in your home, allowing you to see your child's therapy firsthand and be part of the process. Young Talkers can work with families who have various funding arrangements, including NDIS, Medicare Team Care Arrangement, private health insurance, or no formal funding, with the same transparent fee structure for all.

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.
