Our Services
Feeding
We carry out feeding & swallowing assessments for children of all ages in person or online via Telehealth. Our specialty is mentoring parents and carers to put the joy into mealtimes with your little one. This may be a delay in the development of eating skills e.g. getting stuck only eating pureed foods, gagging, coughing or choking on food and drink. We are experienced at treating all types of feeding difficulties, such as:
-
Fussy or selective eating
-
Refusing food or bottles
-
Oral aversion
-
Extended mealtimes
-
Starting solids
Autism Assessments
We prioritise collaboration to ensure your child receives the best diagnostic care. Our team works closely with pediatricians and psychologists, involving parents and caregivers in the comprehensive assessment process. Your insights are invaluable, and we use various tools, including formal evaluations, informal observations and play-based assessments.
Language
Language support focuses on helping children understand and use language effectively in everyday situations. This includes building vocabulary, forming sentences, following instructions, and expressing ideas clearly. Support is tailored to each child, with practical strategies provided to build confidence and support communication at home and school.
Speech sounds
As children learn to talk, it’s normal for them to simplify words (e.g., “tat” for “cat”). These are called phonological processes and usually resolve as speech develops.
Speech errors are different and involve difficulty producing specific sounds (e.g., a lisp). These may need extra support. If these patterns continue beyond the expected age or affect how well a child is understood, speech pathology support can help.
Early Communication
We assess and support babies and toddlers with early communication delays, which can include your little one having difficulty with social communication (e.g. not smiling, limited use of eye contact, difficulty copying actions), not using single words or joining two words together
Literacy
Literacy support focuses on helping children develop the skills needed for reading and writing. This includes building understanding of sounds and letters, reading words and sentences, spelling, and comprehension. Support is tailored to each child, with practical strategies provided to build confidence and support learning at home and school.
