At what age should I consider speech therapy for my child?
Speech therapy can be beneficial at any age if your child is experiencing communication difficulties. We assess and treat children from 16 months to 18 years. Early intervention is often key to addressing speech and language issues before they impact social and academic development.
What are the signs that my child may need speech therapy?
Some common signs that your child might benefit from speech therapy include difficulty pronouncing words, struggling to understand or use language, stuttering, difficulty following directions, and challenges with social communication. If you have any concerns, it’s a good idea to schedule an assessment.
How long does speech therapy usually take?
The duration of speech therapy varies depending on the individual needs of each child. Some children may need only a few months of therapy, while others may require ongoing support. After an initial assessment, we can give you a better idea of the expected duration of therapy.
How often will my child need to attend therapy sessions?
The frequency of therapy sessions depends on your child’s specific needs. Typically, children attend sessions once or twice a week. However, this can be adjusted based on progress and the therapy plan developed after the initial assessment.
Can I be involved in my child’s speech therapy?
Absolutely! Parental involvement is crucial to the success of speech therapy. We encourage parents to participate in sessions, practice skills at home, and collaborate with our therapists to reinforce the progress made in therapy.
Do you offer Telehealth appointments?
Yes, we offer Telehealth appointments as a flexible option for families who prefer remote therapy. This allows your child to receive therapy in the comfort of your home, using secure video conferencing tools.
What should I expect during the first session?
The first session is typically an initial consultation where we get to know you and your child, discuss your concerns, and conduct a comprehensive assessment. This helps us develop a personalised therapy plan tailored to your child’s needs.
Can therapy help if my child has a specific diagnosis like Autism or Down Syndrome?
Yes, we have experience working with children with various diagnoses, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, and other developmental delays. Our therapy is tailored to meet the unique needs of each child, regardless of their diagnosis.
Is speech therapy covered by Medicare or private health insurance?
Many speech therapy services are eligible for rebates through Medicare or private health insurance. We can provide more details during your consultation and help you navigate the claiming process.
