Frequently asked questions

What age should my child see a speech pathologist?

Newborn babies sometimes receive paediatric speech therapy for feeding support with bottles and starting solids. Babies between 6-18 months often start to see a speech therapist if they are not responding to their name, using gestures, or haven't started to speak any words. It's always better to seek advice early to even get peace of mind and not let little problems turn into bigger problems with speech sounds, learning and school readiness.

How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?

Signs include delayed talking, unclear speech, difficulty following instructions, or struggling with reading or spelling. A children's speech pathologist can assess and guide you.

Do you offer appointments before or after school?

Yes! We offer flexible sessions, including early mornings, after school, and weekends. We’re open 7 days to make therapy work for your family.

Can you come to our home or childcare?

Absolutely. We provide mobile therapy across Ashgrove and surrounding areas to ensure your child receives support in the environment they’re most comfortable in.

Do you accept NDIS and Medicare referrals?

Yes. We offer NDIS speech pathology and accept GP referrals under Medicare's Chronic Disease Management Plan.
