our services
Preschool Screeners
We visit preschools to complete screeners or 'mini assessments' with children. This helps determine if a child's speech and language are developing in preparation for starting school. If necessary we refer for a more comprehensive assessment. Teachers and parents, please get in contact for more information.

where we work
Online Telehealth
We provide therapy sessions via an online platform. Telehealth is suitable for most children late preschool-age and above. We recommend caregivers support their children's participation in session. Research shows that telehealth sessions are as effective as in-person sessions. They eliminate travel time, allow your child to learn in a safe and familiar environment, and allow for the provision of services to individuals living in more remote areas. You will need a computer or tablet with a microphone and camera to access these services.
Home Visits
We provide therapy sessions at your home and support your child's communication development in a familiar environment. Children can feel more comfortable in their own home and are in the right frame of mind to learn. We can eliminate travel time for you. A naturalistic environment also leads to better generalisation of learning. As a caregiver you will learn how to support and teach your child in every day routines. We can use your child's preferred toys and activities and will also bring some of our own.
School Visits
We provide therapy services in your child's daycare, preschool, or school environment to support their communication, social, and academic development. We work closely with your child's educators and provide individual strategies to promote learning. School-based therapy helps your child learn in a naturalistic environment and generalise their communication goals across settings.
