Speech Pathology promotes and develops effective communication in young children.
Speech Pathologists use play and fun activities with children and their families to develop speaking and listening skills. Everyday activities are recommended to develop a child’s language skills such as reading stories, playing games, going to the park or playing with pets. Children may be seen with their families or in small groups.
Our Speech Pathology services are available to children who are prior to school entry.
Children who are attending school are to be referred onwards to school-based services or private Speech Pathologists.
