Step 1

Step 1: Assessment

Assessment

Before starting therapy, one to two sessions are typically required for formal and informal assessments to gather essential information. This includes discussions with clients or caregivers about developmental or medical history, communication needs, and daily experiences, along with evaluations of current speech, language, or swallowing difficulties. With consent, we may also consult other professionals involved in your care. If a recent Speech Pathology assessment within the last twelve months is available, we can use it to help set personalised therapy goals. If necessary, a formal assessment report will be provided within 2-3 weeks.

Step 2

Goal Setting and Treatment Planning

Following the collection of all necessary information, the Speech Pathologist and client will collaboratively establish goals. A comprehensive therapy plan is subsequently developed, subject to regular review and adjustment in partnership with the client or their caregiver.

Step 3

Therapy

If therapy is recommended, appointments are typically scheduled weekly or fortnightly, based on clinician and client availability. Each session includes 45 minutes of face-to-face therapy and 15 minutes for preparation and notes. To ensure optimal progress, we'll regularly review outcomes, assess goal achievement, and adjust your therapy plan as needed.
