When Might Your Child Need Speech Therapy?
Speech and language difficulties can appear in different ways as children grow. Sometimes parents notice them at home, while other concerns become clearer at childcare, kindy or school.
Talking & Being Understood
- My toddler isn't talking yet or uses very few words.
- My child's speech is difficult for other people to understand.
- My child stutters or gets stuck on words.
- My child struggles to explain what happened or tell a story.
Understanding & Learning
- My child struggles to follow instructions or answer questions.
- My child finds it hard to remember or explain information.
- My child struggles with vocabulary or storytelling.
- Concerns raised by teachers about development.
Friendships & Connection
- Difficulty joining conversations or playing with others.
- Difficulty understanding social situations or expressions.

Every child deserves to feel heard and understood, whatever communication looks like for them.
SPEECH THERAPY THROUGH THE AGES
Supporting Communication at Every Stage
Babies & Toddlers
First Words, Early Communication & Speech Delays
We support early communication, including gestures, first words, understanding language, play and interaction. For families concerned about a toddler not talking, delayed speech or limited communication, early speech pathology assessment can help identify developmental needs and guide appropriate support.
Preschool & School-Aged Children
Speech Clarity, Language, Learning & Friendships
As children grow, communication becomes increasingly important for learning, playing and connecting with others. We support speech sound difficulties, language delays, following instructions, storytelling, classroom language and social communication.
Teenagers & Adolescents
Confidence, Communication & Self-Advocacy
Speech therapy for teenagers can support complex language, conversations, expressing opinions, understanding social situations and advocating for their needs. Our approach respects each teenager's individuality and growing independence.
