What We Do
Coordinated Care Approach
Our speech therapists for kids focus on providing tailored services to address each child’s specific needs by understanding the child’s challenges and their environment. We do this by developing an evidence-based therapy plan that matches the child’s current abilities and motivators to grow meaningful language and communication skills.
We focus on fostering a fun, supportive, and engaging atmosphere where children feel comfortable and excited to learn. By employing evidence-based methods and customised therapy plans, our NDIS speech therapy for kids aims to tackle various speech and language challenges, including articulation problems, language delays, and social communication disorders.
Our skilled paediatric pathologists carry out comprehensive evaluations to determine your child’s unique needs and challenges. This enables us to create an individualised therapy plan that focuses on their unique requirements.
We provide one-on-one speech therapy for children, focusing on personalised goals and strategies that promote effective communication skills. Our kids speech therapy is crafted to be engaging and fun, motivating children to actively take part. Rest assured, our services align with the NDIS price guide, ensuring no additional gap fees for our clients.
