Our Process
Assessment
It all begins with assessment. From this we determine not just areas for improvement but your strengths and your goals. Assessment also allows us to identify your progress in therapy, as well as necessary supports and assistive technology to help you reach your fullest potential. Assessment reports are provided upon request.
Therapy
We love providing regular Speech Therapy services for people of all abilities. We provide intervention for language, voice, speech, swallow, reading and writing. Our services also include support for parents, carers, teachers and we love collaboration with other professionals. Progress reports are provided upon request and review of NDIS plan.

We offer assessment and trials and applications (through NDIS) for appropriate alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) device or dysphagia (swallow) equipment to support your independence and living.
