ABOUT US
Speech Pathologists
Speech Pathologists work with children and their families focusing on developing their communication skills. At A Speechie Speech Pathology our Speechies provide assessment and intervention for articulation (speech clarity), receptive language (comprehension), expressive language (talking), social communication, fluency (stuttering), literacy (reading and spelling), and play.
We cater to children from a range of diverse backgrounds and communication difficulties. Our services are evidence based, with a key focus on providing therapy through a neurodiversity-affirming approach and individualised for your child’s specific needs.
We understand that everyone is unique, and our clinicians take the time to truly get to know our clients to create an individualised approach to therapy, making for a warm and welcoming environment. We believe therapy is most effective when your child feels comfortable, and we strive to create a safe space that facilitates this.
Our Speech Pathology services are offered to children aged 2-18 years, and we specialise in the following services:
Communication Assessments

Receptive and Expressive Language
