We provide specialist paediatric speech pathology services in Brisbane, focusing on enhancing the communication skills and overall well-being of children and adolescents. We also offer services for young adults.
Our speech pathologists work with a range of child and youth communication disorders, including but not limited to:
A speech pathologist is a trained professional specialising in assessing and treating speech, language, and communication disorders. Our Brisbane-based speech pathologists help children, adolescents, and their families understand and manage communication challenges. We offer face-to-face consultations and Telehealth appointments to ensure accessibility for families outside Brisbane.
Our speech pathologists are particularly interested in treating a wide range of communication disorders, including articulation and phonological disorders, language delays, social communication disorders, and more. They use evidence-based practices to ensure effective intervention and support.
Speech pathologists assess and diagnose communication disorders through comprehensive evaluations. These assessments may include interviews with the child, parents, teachers, and other significant individuals in the child’s life. They may also involve standardised tests and observations.
A speech pathologist will develop a personalised treatment plan considering the child’s unique needs and strengths. This plan may include direct therapy, collaborative work with other professionals such as psychologists or occupational therapists, and guidance for parents and teachers to support the child’s communication development at home and in school.
Our Brisbane-based practice takes a holistic approach, considering biological, psychological, social, and family factors. We aim to support the child’s overall well-being and help them reach their full potential. Whether working on speech clarity, language development, social skills, or feeding and swallowing issues, our speech pathologists are dedicated to providing the highest quality care.
