NDIS speech pathology in Sydney
Helping children and adults communicate clearly, connect with others and eat and drink safely.
Who speech pathology helps
- Children with autism building communication and social skills
- Developmental delay — early intervention for language milestones
- Speech sound disorders affecting clarity and articulation
- Language disorders affecting understanding and expression
- Adults recovering communication after stroke or brain injury
- Stuttering and other fluency disorders
- Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) and mealtime safety
What sessions involve
For children, therapy is play-based and built around what they enjoy — games, books, picture cards and everyday routines — so new skills carry over to home and school. For adults, we focus on the conversations and situations that matter most to you, with practical strategies you can use straight away.
- Speech and language assessments with clear, plain-language reports
- Articulation and phonology therapy
- Language intervention and literacy support
- Social communication skills training
- Alternative and augmentative communication (AAC), including device trials
- Fluency therapy
- Swallowing assessment, mealtime plans and texture-modified diet advice
- Voice therapy
Working with families and schools
Communication happens all day, not just in sessions. We coach parents, teachers and support workers, provide home practice, and can attend school meetings so everyone uses the same strategies.
Questions about speech pathology
How do I know if my child needs speech pathology?
If your child is hard to understand, uses fewer words than peers, struggles to follow instructions, avoids talking or has difficulty with social play, an assessment is worthwhile. Early support makes the biggest difference.
Do you offer speech pathology at school or daycare?
Yes, with the school's agreement. We regularly visit schools and early learning centres across Western Sydney.
Do you work with adults?
Yes. We support adults with communication and swallowing needs related to stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions and lifelong disability.
Is speech pathology funded by the NDIS?
Yes, usually under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living. AAC devices may be funded under Assistive Technology following an assessment and trial.
