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.

Our approach

Zanda uses a strengths-focused, neuro-affirming approach to speech and occupational therapy that builds upon each child's unique abilities. Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and incorporate the latest research to help them improve their speech, language, social skills, and overall development. Therapists work with children in a friendly, supportive manner across various settings including therapy hubs, homes, schools, childcares and kindergartens. The team is knowledgeable and committed to creating positive learning experiences that support your child's communication, confidence and engagement both in therapy and at home.

Working with families
