Speech Therapy Services - Helping You Communicate with Confidence
At every stage of life, communication plays a vital role.
The services provided are all designed with your unique needs in mind, and we’ll work alongside you, supporting your goals.
Speech Therapy for All Ages - Supporting Communication from Childhood to Adulthood
Speech therapy isn’t just for one age group.
From early childhood through adulthood, we offer therapy designed to support communication at every stage of life.
We believe in helping you find your voice at any age, whether you’re learning to speak clearly as a child or refining your communication skills as an adult.
Your therapy sessions will focus on the skills that matter most to you, whether for school, work, or personal life.
Encourage Open Communication
Foster an environment where people feel comfortable sharing their feelings, frustrations, and victories.
This open communication helps you adjust therapy to best suit their needs. - Laura-Jane
Social Skills Development - Navigating Real-World Communication
Life is full of social interactions, but they don’t always come easy. That’s where social skills development comes in.
Together, we’ll work on everything from casual chats with friends to navigating more complex social situations.
It’s about developing the confidence to communicate in a variety of settings, ensuring you feel comfortable in everyday interactions, whether you're at work, school, or in social gatherings.
Language Development - Clear, Confident Communication
Everyone deserves to feel heard and understood.
If language has been a barrier for you, we’re here to break it down and help you develop the skills needed to express yourself clearly.
Whether for personal or professional purposes, we'll work with you on everything from building vocabulary to improving grammar and sentence structure.
Together, we’ll focus on building your confidence in using language as a tool to connect with others.
Ongoing Speech Therapy - Flexibility to Meet Your Needs
Consistency is key when working toward your goals, and ongoing speech therapy sessions will help you stay on track.
Whether it’s weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, your sessions will be arranged to fit your needs.
Flexibility is at the heart of our service, and appointments can take place in environments where you feel most comfortable: at home, school, work, or in community spaces.
Your goals will guide the pace of therapy, and we’ll adjust as needed to make sure you’re progressing.
Speech and Language Assessments - Understanding Your Needs
When you’re unsure about what’s needed, assessments are the first step toward clarity.
We offer a range of speech and language assessments that help identify your unique needs.
These assessments can be used to gain a deeper understanding of areas like:
- Articulation of speech sounds
- Language skills
- Social communication abilities
- Phonological awareness
- Voice quality
- Fluency (stuttering)
- Swallowing
Once your assessment is completed, you’ll receive an overview of the results, as well as an outline of the next steps in therapy.
These assessments not only guide your therapy but can also assist in securing funding for your NDIS plan, making sure you have the support you need to achieve your goals.
Using Technology to Simplify Tasks
Assistive technology can take complex tasks and simplify them for people.
Whether it’s helping with meal prep or organizing a day, technology can be a game-changer.
It’s about finding solutions that make life easier and more manageable. – Carly
Speech and Language Reports
A clear understanding of your progress is essential to moving forward.
After completing an assessment, you’ll receive detailed reports summarising the results, an analysis of your difficulties, and suggestions for ongoing support.
These reports can also be used to provide the necessary information for NDIS planning or to support a diagnosis if needed.
Kinder/School Report - Helping You Succeed in Educational Settings
For younger individuals, a Kinder or School Report provides insights into speech and language development in the school environment.
The report includes practical recommendations for both you and your teachers, designed to support success and encourage confidence in the classroom.
Diagnostic Report - Supporting a Clear Diagnosis
In some cases, understanding a specific condition can be crucial.
If you need support around a particular diagnosis, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or Global Developmental Delay, we can provide a diagnostic report.
This report covers speech, language, emotional regulation, behaviour, and social communication skills, helping to clarify any areas that may need additional support.
Mealtime Management Report - Safe Eating and Swallowing
Swallowing difficulties can affect daily life, and if that’s a concern, a Mealtime Management Report can help.
This assessment identifies potential issues with swallowing and provides recommendations for modifications to your diet and meal strategies, helping to ensure safe and comfortable eating experiences.
Assistive Technology - Communication Aids to Support Your Needs
Sometimes, the best way to communicate is through the use of technology.
We offer assessments and recommendations for both high-tech and low-tech communication aids.
Whether it’s iPad apps, voice-generating devices, PODD books, or PECS, we’ll help find the right tool for you.
In addition, we can arrange trials and meetings to ensure these tools meet your needs effectively.
NDIS Required Reporting and Letters of Support - Keeping You on Track
If you’re accessing services through the NDIS, we understand the importance of having the right documentation.
We complete all required reports, including review and change-of-circumstance reports, ensuring you continue to receive the support you need.
Additionally, we can provide letters to support your NDIS funding for specific therapy-related items like decodable readers or communication apps.
Referrals - Connecting You with the Right Support
In some cases, additional support from other health professionals might be beneficial.
If that’s the case, we can refer you to other specialists such as Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, or Audiologists.
This means you receive a well-rounded approach to your care.
Learn at Own Pace
There’s no rush when it comes to therapy.
Learning at a pace that feels comfortable is important.
Pushing too hard can lead to burnout, so it’s vital to be gentle with progress.
Taking the time to absorb what works best is key. - Zac
Programs - Supporting Development with Proven Approaches
We offer structured programs such as It Takes Two to Talk and More Than Words, which are designed to support language and communication development.
These programs provide proven strategies for nurturing communication skills and help guide you toward the outcomes that matter most.
