The Speech Pathologist works with children and their families who are experiencing communication or feeding related problems. Therapy is provided to infants and preschool aged children individually or in small groups. Appointments are conducted either face-to-face or using telehealth.

 

This service provides speech pathology for babies and pre-school children with communication and feeding difficulties. Reasons for referral may include:

  • Difficulty/delay in understanding the meaning of words and sentences
  • Difficulty/delay in using speech sounds (articulation)
  • Stuttering
  • Difficulties with feeding (i.e. fussy/restrictive eating, difficulties transitioning to solids).
 

Referral

Please note: Referrals for children starting school the next year must be received before the 30th of June.

Parents or carers are able to self-refer a child for assessment.  Referrals are also accepted from any professionals involved with the child (such as a Maternal and Child Health Nurse, Kindergarten Teacher, GP, Paediatrician), as long as consent from the parent/carer is obtained.
