Still have questions or want to discuss your concerns with a Speech Pathologist before requesting an assessment? You can book a 20-minute phone consultation with one of our therapists who can help you determine if an assessment is necessary, provide information specific to your concerns, and explain what your next steps should be.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I suspect my child may be delayed but I'm not sure?
We recommend investigating any concerns instead of taking a wait-and-see approach. If you're not sure, you can talk to one of our therapists who can guide you in the best direction. We are able to complete a screen or assessment to put your mind at ease.
Other than the NDIS, can I access any funding for speech therapy sessions?
Most private health companies provide speech pathology rebates depending on your level of cover. Alternatively, Medicare provides some rebates through a number of different schemes but you will need a referral for a GP to access these.
I thought Speech Pathologists only work with lisps and stutters. Why has my child's teacher referred us?
Speech Pathologists are experts in language development, making them well-suited to work in literacy. Language is the foundation of reading and writing; therefore, Speech Pathologists can apply their knowledge to help individuals with literacy skills. This multidisciplinary approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of communication in all its forms.
