Speech Assessment

For Whom: Paediatrics, Adolescents, Adults.

Special Types: Swallowing, Feeding, FEES.

Our assessments are designed to provide a thorough understanding of you or your child’s communication strengths and areas of difficulty. Prior to the assessment, our speech pathologists review information from a detailed questionnaire to ensure the evaluation is tailored to your needs. During the session, a speech pathologist conducts a one-on-one assessment to identify strengths, challenges, and areas for support. Following the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive written report outlining the results,recommendations, and next steps. We also offer a complimentary 30-minuteconsultation to discuss the findings, answer your questions, and help you understand the recommendations.

Speech Therapy

Personalised and collaboratively planned to support each individual’s unique goals and communication needs. Speech Pathologists use their expertise to select and adapt approaches based on evidence and the individual’s strengths, preferences, and communication needs. This may include less structured play based therapy, parent training and coaching, or specific programs such as the Lidcombe Program for Stuttering or Sounds- Write for literacy.
