1:1 Speech Therapy
Speech therapy that helps young people find their voice
One-to-one, play-based speech pathology for children, teens and young adults up to 25, with families involved every step of the way.
Who it's for
Speech therapy supports young people who find it hard to communicate, be understood or understand others. We work with:
- Late talkers and children with delayed speech or language
- Children whose speech is hard to understand
- Difficulties understanding instructions, questions or stories
- Social communication, including play, conversation and friendships
- Stuttering
- Early literacy, reading and spelling foundations
- Alternative and augmentative communication (AAC), such as LAMP Words for Life, Proloquo2Go and TD Snap
How it helps
Your speech pathologist gets to know your child, their strengths and the situations they find tricky. Together we set goals that matter in everyday life, such as asking for help, joining in with friends or following routines at school, and build skills through engaging, play-based activities.
Benefits
- Clearer communication at home, at school and in the community

- Practical strategies the whole family can use between sessions
