WHAT IS
SPEECH PATHOLOGY?
Speech Pathology services support individuals with communication and social difficulties. Therapy helps to develop the skills needed to participate in everyday activities, such as education, social activities and family life.
A Speech Pathologist is a qualified health professional who assesses and treats difficulties relating to speaking, listening, understanding, using literacy skills, stuttering, using voice, playing and interacting with others.
Our Speech Pathologists are members of Speech Pathology Australia.

WHO DO WE WORK WITH?
At Speak and Succeed, we work with children aged 0 – 18 years presenting with a range of speech and communication difficulties.
We have experience supporting clients with Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, speech delays, receptive and expressive language delays, developmental delays and genetic disorders.
We are committed to delivering evidence-based practice and holistically supporting the child and their family. We strongly encourage collaboration between all professionals working with your child, such as occupational therapists, psychologists and behaviour support practitioners, doctors, specialists, paediatricians and educators.
TELEHEALTH
We understand that it is not always possible to attend face-to-face sessions, whether due to your location, government restrictions, illness, or extended travel arrangements. Our clinicians are able to offer telehealth options if you are unable to attend in person.
Depending on your child’s age, abilities and goals, your clinician will discuss which telehealth options would best suit your child and your family circumstances. Some of our options include:
Zoom Sessions
This may look and feel similar to face-to-face sessions, with interactive games and resources for your child to complete with the support of your clinician.
For children who require more support, this may be in the form of parent consultations and/or coaching to support you to continue therapy at home with your child.
Home Program
Your clinician will put together activities for you and/or your child to complete at home.
You will also have the opportunity for a feedback session with your clinician to discuss your child’s progress with the home program.
