Opening times – Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 5pm

Speech and language difficulties involve challenges with communication (understanding or expressing language), speech sound production, fluency, voice, or swallowing, and they can significantly impact learning and social development. We work to identify the areas of concern and support communication development.
Often a helpful starting point when attention or impulse-related concerns are clearly recognised by you and others (such as teachers), there are no other developmental concerns, and you’re seeking medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment options.
Often helpful when attention concerns are suspected but not clear-cut, when schools or other services have requested standardised information, or when you’d like a detailed understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges.

Helps identify the best starting pathway
Responses suggest that there may be broader developmental or medical considerations, so a paediatric consultation is the best place to start. This allows concerns to be reviewed in context and helps determine whether speech pathology alone is suitable, or whether additional assessment or referrals may be helpful.
Based on your responses, speech or language appears to be the primary concern. A speech assessment is the appropriate first step to understand your child’s communication profile and guide therapy or intervention planning.
