Our speech pathologists take a family-centred approach, working closely with you to set personalised goals and develop strategies that foster and enrich your child’s development.
The speech pathologist will evaluate your child’s communication or feeding skills. Assessment is dynamic and varies for each child. The initial consult is 60 or 90 minute sessions in length, however in some instances where an informal assessment is completed, this will be conducted via diagnostic therapy over 3-4 sessions, in order to gain substantial information to form a clinical diagnosis.
After the initial consult, the therapist will have a discussion with the family and make the necessary clinical recommendations. Goals will then be devised to target your child’s communication or feeding skills.
Weekly therapy sessions will occur for either 45 or 60 minutes to ensure optimal progress for your child.
Therapy aims to facilitate and support your child’s development, thereby improving and positively contributing to your child’s quality of life!
My son has only been seeing Natalie for a few weeks and I can already see wonderful progress with his speech. She is very patient with him and I am very grateful for all the information she provides me with to help him at home. Would definitely recommend her to others.
Natalie is a very professional, knowledgeable and caring speech therapist. She has helped my children develop their social and language communication skills. I highly recommend Natalie.
