Speech therapy services explained
The main ways speech therapy is delivered and funded, so you can work out what suits your family before you enquire.
Early intervention speech therapy
The early years are a powerful time for communication. Early intervention speech therapy supports babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, and coaches families to build communication into everyday life.
School-age speech therapy
School brings new communication demands, from following instructions to reading, writing, and friendships. Speech pathology supports school-age children across all of these.
Telehealth speech therapy
Telehealth speech therapy brings sessions to you by video. For many families it is convenient, effective, and a way to start sooner when nearby clinics are full.
NDIS speech therapy
If your child has an NDIS plan with therapy funding, speech pathology is one of the most common supports families use it for. Here is how it generally works.
Reading and literacy support from a speech pathologist
Reading and writing grow out of spoken language, which is why speech pathologists help children who find literacy hard, working alongside school.
