Children's Speech Pathology in Robina, Gold Coast
Our speech pathologists help children communicate in the way that works best for them, whether that's spoken words, signs, pictures or a communication device. Therapy is child-led, play-based and neuro-affirming, and we work closely with parents so progress carries over at home and school.
How speech pathology can help
- Late talking and early language development
- Speech sounds and clarity
- Understanding and using language
- Social communication and play
- AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), from low-tech boards to eye-gaze devices
- Feeding and mealtime difficulties
- Myofunctional therapy (tongue, lip and jaw function, breathing and swallowing patterns)
- Stuttering and fluency, early literacy skills and selective mutism

Children and young people aged 0–18 (and some young adults), including autistic children, children with developmental delay, rare genetic conditions, and anyone whose communication is holding them back at home, kindy or school.

Frequently asked questions
When should I worry about my child's talking? If you're concerned, it's worth getting an assessment. Early support makes a real difference, and there's no need to "wait and see".
Do you offer telehealth? Most sessions are in our Robina clinic, which we find works best. Telehealth is available for myofunctional therapy and in some other situations.
Can NDIS fund speech therapy? Yes, if your NDIS plan is self-managed or plan-managed. We also see private clients. Medicare (with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan) and private health insurance may help with some costs.
Do you support non-speaking children? Yes. We support AAC users and help families find the system that suits their child.
