I provide speech pathology assessments face-to-face in Bundoora or parent and therapy programs via telehealth (online). I'm Brent, a paediatric speech pathologist from Melbourne. If you're concerned about your child's speech, please reach out and I can arrange an assessment. If your child has already had a speech pathology assessment then let's make a therapy plan to develop their skills based on the goals you would like to work on. The parent and therapy programs I provide look at speaking and listening, social emotional, speech sound, and speech fluency skills.
Are they going to catch up in school?
Where do I get help?
What are my therapy options?
How do I get funding in Australia to help my child? Or how do I use my child's funding?
Is everything going to be OK?
When speech and language difficulties are present alongside other conditions like autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, or ADHD, then the stress and anxiety can be multiplied.
If you’re on this journey with your child, you may be at the “Where do I start?” point. Maybe you’re further along at the “Where do I go from here?” stage. Or even wondering “What else can I do to help them?”.
As soon as you have an inkling that something is not “right”, assessments and diagnostics should be your first stop. You may have been referred here by a teacher, GP, or even a fellow parent with previous experience. The reason your child needs an assessment is to benchmark ability and potential. From there, we’ll have a better idea of where they might be lacking, and how big the gap is.
