Why Choose Kids Spot for Your Child?
Our Mission

The Kids Spot Team are a dynamic and passionate group of humans who work together to harness a sense of belonging; curiosity; authenticity; kindness; and clarity.
How We Are Different
Our approach is always play-based and child led
This means that Speech Pathology for children uses your child’s interests and follows their lead as part of the therapy process. It also means we are meeting your child at their developmental level and helping them to move towards achieving milestones.
We often see children running towards the speech pathology clinic and the play room to see what’s in store.
We believe you are your child’s most important teacher and advocate. Our families are active participants in the play that occurs in our sessions.
We develop goals alongside you so you are an integral part of the journey and your child’s success.
We are passionate about community engagement, collaboration and inclusion
This means we work with all involved in your child’s care and education so they are supported in all aspects of their life. This includes:
Educators
Support workers
Family members and friends
Other health professionals
This helps children reach their full potential because all those involved in their care know how best to support them.
We believe that all behaviour is a response
Some children with communication difficulties present with what others call “bad behaviour” - we treat all behaviours as a response to better understand a child and help them succeed. These responses can include: biting, pulling hair, repetitive movements, tantrums, meltdowns, etc.
We are always working with you to identify what might be contributing to a response and how we can best support your child with these responses.
We celebrate your child and acknowledge them for who they are.
We are passionate about Neurodiverse affirming practice.
