Welcome to the
speech shedSpeech Pathology
A Brisbane-based speech pathology service in Cannon Hill supporting children, adolescents and adults with communication and swallowing needs.
I provide individualised, practical support tailored to each individual and their goals. In-clinic and mobile services are available across homes, schools, daycares and community settings. Currently servicing NDIS (self-managed, plan managed) participants and private-paying clients.
How Can I Help?
I support children, adolescents and adults across a range of areas, including:
Speech Sounds and Speech Clarity
Difficulties saying certain sounds or being clearly understood by others.
Literacy
Foundational reading and spelling skills, including phonological awareness, decoding and written language.
Fluency
Children, adolescents and adults who stutter.
Swallowing and Mealtime Support
Assessment and support for difficulties with eating, drinking and swallowing safely and comfortably.
Understanding and Using Language
Difficulties with understanding language and expressing thoughts, ideas, needs and experiences.
Play Skills
Supporting the development of play, interaction and communication skills through engaging, meaningful play.
Social Communication Skills
Support with conversational skills, understanding social situations, perspective taking, self-advocacy and communicating with others.
Signs to look for
It's normal to wonder about your child's communication. Children develop at different rates but if you have concerns, getting advice early can be helpful. You might consider speech pathology support if your child:
- Is hard to understand compared to other children
- Uses fewer words or short sentences
- Gets frustrated when trying to communicate
- Has difficulty following instructions
- Stutters or repeats sounds or words
If you're unsure whether your child needs speech pathology support, you're welcome to reach out for a chat or complete a short intake form - there's no pressure to commit to ongoing sessions.
