Supporting communication & connection
Speech Pathology
Helping children express themselves, understand others and connect with the world around them.
Finding their voice
What is Speech Pathology?
Speech pathology involves the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of communication delays and disorders in children – including speech, language, fluency, voice and social communication.
Our Speech Pathologists also work with families to introduce alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) strategies when needed.
We believe every child deserves to be heard and understood. Our therapy is play-based, engaging and tailored to each child’s interests and goals.
