As our name suggests we are a paediatric Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy service specialising in screening, assessment and intervention for 0-18 year olds with speech and language delays, learning difficulties, Autism and Autistic Spectrum Disorders, attention deficits and developmental delay, Down Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, hearing and vision impairment.

 We have 20 years experience working with children and their families to improve function and independence in everyday meaningful activities such as school activities (including reading, writing, spelling, speaking), play, sports and self care activities (such as dressing, eating and toileting).

Our practice is child-centred and we believe that all children’s needs are unique and therapy goals are best achieved when we work collaboratively with the child, their families and teachers to fully understand and address these needs. As a result, we are able to develop specific home and school programs for children to compliment therapy and ensure acquired skills are transferred from therapy to the home and classroom.

Our therapists are primarily mobile therapists, servicing clients in their school, day care or home environments however we have clinics at some of our locations.
