High quality dynamic speech pathology assessment.

Quality intervention provided through a structured therapy program to support our clients achieving their goals.

We will suggest an initial block of therapy and the length and frequency of this block will depend on many influencing factors. We aim to set realistic goals with you based on the concerns and also based on the realities of day to day life. We will be constantly reviewing your needs throughout therapy and update goals and therapy plans as needed. Therapy activities are designed to be fun and rewarding and we select games/resources that complement current interests. Children are often invited to choose preferred games giving them a feeling of control and independence which enhances motivation and participation.

Support for safe mealtimes and swallowing including comprehensive assessment, plan development and training for carers and support staff. Aged care or home visits available.
