At Chirnside Park Speech Pathology,
​ we work with children and young people who:

• ​Stutter or have difficulty speaking in a fluent way
• Have unclear speech
• Are late to start talking, or who have not yet developed speech
• Have difficulty interacting with peers
• Are on the Autism Spectrum, or require an assessment to support a diagnosis
• Have an expressive and/or receptive language delay, or a developmental delay
• Find understanding and remembering instructions to be difficult
• Have difficulty constructing sentences, using correct grammar, or have a limited vocabulary​

Assessment

During your child's assessment session, the Speech Pathologist will gather background information from you, observe your child and conduct formal and informal assessments based on your child's age and your area of concern. Following the assessment, the Speech Pathologist will analyse the information and determine if your child requires further assessment, therapy, or if another option is more appropriate. All of this information will be discussed with the parent. 

Individual Therapy

For children whose assessment has indicated that intervention is required, the Speech Pathologist will plan and deliver therapy to your child based on their individual needs. Parents/carers attend therapy sessions and are given activities to complete at home between sessions.
