Telehealth Speech Pathology for Children, Australia-wide
What we help with online:
Speech and language: late talkers, speech sounds, understanding and using language, storytelling
Literacy and dyslexia: reading, spelling, phonological awareness and written expression
Stuttering: evidence-based fluency support for preschool and school-aged children
Social communication: neurodiversity-affirming support that respects how your child communicates, including gestalt language processors
Assessments: online speech, language and literacy assessments with clear, practical recommendations [Confirm which assessments you run online]
Parent coaching: for babies and toddlers (around 12 to 18 months) who are too young for screen-based sessions, we coach you to build communication through everyday play

Online speech therapy that fits your family's life
Telehealth means your child gets therapy where they feel most at ease. No traffic, no waiting rooms, no rushing out of school.
Home is where learning sticks. We work with your child's own toys, books and routines, so new skills carry straight into everyday life.
You're part of every session. You see exactly what we do and why, and leave with simple ideas to use during the week.
Flexible timing. Sessions around school, work and siblings. [Confirm: before/after school times available?]
Wherever you are. Regional NSW, interstate or across Sydney, you get the same team our Rose Bay families see.
Backed by research. Peer-reviewed studies show telehealth speech pathology can achieve outcomes similar to in-person therapy (Scott et al., 2024).
