Services

The initial appointment is an opportunity for me to get to know your child as a communicator and to understand your priorities. I use a variety of methods to gather relevant information about your child's strengths and areas for support. These include standardised assessments, informal assessments, observations, and collecting in-depth case history information. Assessments usually take 1-2 sessions to complete and results help to inform an individualised therapy plan. 

I provide effective, engaging and highly individualised therapy to foster your child's speech and literacy development. 

Once the initial assessment is completed, in collaboration with families, I select meaningful and functional goals to target in therapy sessions. Your child's progress is monitored closely and we will work together to update goals regularly. Sessions typically include a mix of direct work with the child, discussions with families about progress at home, and the provision of activities or strategies to maximise carry-over of new skills into the child's everyday life.  

I offer a variety of report options depending on your child's individual needs and circumstances. Examples include summary reports, comprehensive assessment reports to share with schools and/or medical professionals and NDIS reports. Reports can be provided upon request at any stage throughout the therapy journey and usually take 1-2 weeks to complete.

Every child has the right to access speech therapy services, regardless of their home address or proximity to a metropolitan location. Over the past few years, Telehealth has risen in popularity and research evidence shows that therapy provided in this format can be as effective as face-to-face services. I am excited to offer telehealth as a fantastic way for your child to receive functional, meaningful support in the comfort of their home environment.
