We assess and treat pre-school children aged
0-6 years with a range of developmental delays, disabilities and
communication difficulties in a fun and relaxed environment.

You can expect our Speech Language
Pathologist to take a detailed case history, discuss previous assessments
conducted, investigate the goals that you identify as important for your
child and family, then assess your child’s strengths and weaknesses. This
is in order to offer an individualised program in a family-centred
approach to suit your child’s needs.
