Child Speech Pathology
Our speech pathologists work with children who are six and under, and not yet in school. Contact us today to make an appointment.

We support children who are:

- not joining two words together by two years of age
- hard to understand by three years of age
- stuttering
- using a nasal, loud or hoarse voice.

- home practice ideas and support for parents
- secondary consultation (to kinder teachers, doctors, maternal and child health nurses)
- individualised programs for kindergartens with School Readiness funding
What to expect
We want to try to get to know your child as well as you do. At the first appointment we will:
- Talk with you about what your child is good at and your concerns about your child’s development, whilst your child plays
- Assess your child’s skills (through play and activities)
- Work with you to develop a plan.
