This means, with your child’s treatment plan and sessions are tailored to suit the needs and functional goals of your family. We are passionate about helping you and your child achieve the best outcomes to help your child succeed.

During the initial consultation, we gather insights from parents about how their child communicates with family and friends, and in different settings.
Throughout the assessment our paediatric Speech Therapists will create connections with children through their interest, play and enjoyable activities to assess and identify areas where a child may need support.
We will discuss outcomes parents would like to see their child achieve, whilst also providing parent support and guidance.
From the initial Speech Assessment, our therapists create a personalized communication plan based on the findings, as well as parent’s insights and priorities.
Our Speech Therapy sessions are tailored to address the functional goals using the latest evidence-based research and play-based strategies to engage your child and ensure that your speech therapy experience is functional, fun, and exciting.
To foster engagement and enjoyment, we centre activities around your child’s interests and focus on building and maintaining a trusting therapeutic relationship.
The facilities at the Child Development Institute means that your child’s Speech Therapy can take place in a setting that sees therapy centred around your child’s interests. This may be in our outdoor play space or personalised therapy rooms.
