Why Speech Pathology ?
Our aim is to support children, families, schools, daycare and kindergartens who are met with challenges relating to their communication and/ or feeding. This can be provided in a multi-disciplinary session, individual session, group session or under supervision via a therapy assistant.
Speech Pathologists at Allsorts work closely with children and their families to create goals and provide family-centred intervention and education to support a child’s needs.
Our Speech Pathologists work with children to support their communication and feeding development.
