Autism speech therapy that respects every way of communicating

Communication is at the heart of how autistic people connect, learn and share who they are.

Some autistic children and adults are not yet speaking, some speak in scripts or repeated phrases, and some speak easily but find the social side of language harder to navigate. Wherever you sit, our speech pathologists are here to help.

We provide strengths-based therapy that builds communication skills while respecting each person's unique way of communicating.

We support autistic children, teenagers and adults through online therapy, Australia-wide.

Matthew is knowledgeable, patient, and motivated and has empowered us with effective speech development strategies.Highly recommended.

We are so very grateful to Sarah, she has been great with my daughter, we have had a few others before her and they have all been great would always recommend, the online set-up has worked so well with our busy schedules. Thank you for having this available.
Lydia P.
We are incredibly grateful for the work Sarah does with our 6-year-old son, Rupert, during his speech therapy sessions. Rupert can find it challenging to sit still and stay focused, but Sarah has an amazing ability to keep him engaged throughout their sessions. She makes Rupert feel truly heard and understood, and we've seen such a wonderful improvement in his speech since he started working with her. Sarah has a warm, personable demeanor that has made her a perfect fit for our energetic and funny little boy. She has gone above and beyond in explaining things to us, ensuring we fully understand Rupert's progress and how we can support him at home. Her communication with us has always been clear and timely, and she is consistently on time for sessions. We couldn't ask for a better speech pathologist for Rupert—Sarah is truly exceptional at what she does.

Matthew has shown himself to be kind and caring and very professional.
Kate S.
I was looking for telehealth speech Pathologist for my daughter as wait times in our area are long and also I have found previously that my little one would get reluctant to get in the car to attend. So being that we don't have to rush out the house to be somewhere on time has made it so much easier on both of us. I am so happy to of found Care speech and Sarah our speechy is so calm and great at getting my daughter back on track. My daughter looks forward to seeing Sarah and tells me what she is going to ask or tell her about before the appointments. Previous my daughter was not engaging in speech appointments at all, and its been so wonderful to see her connect with Sarah. I would highly recommend Care Speech to any of my friends or any professionals that are looking to recommend to other families.

Our approach to autism support

We use evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming therapy. That means we do not try to make autistic people mask who they are. We support genuine communication in whatever form works best for the individual, and we build on strengths rather than focusing only on difficulties.

Every journey starts with getting to know your child or you. We complete a comprehensive assessment of communication across different situations, looking at understanding, expression, social communication and play. From there we design an individualised plan, which may include

 

Worried online therapy won’t suit an autistic child or teenager?

It is a fair question, and for many autistic clients online therapy actually works especially well. Taking part from home means you are in a familiar and predictable environment where it is easier to feel calm and regulated.

There is no unfamiliar waiting room, no sensory overwhelm from a new clinic, and no stressful car trip to get there.

Our sessions use clear HD video and professional audio, and our platform works on any device. If you ever need help getting set up, our team guides you step by step. Many families tell us they have a more positive experience at home than they ever did in a clinic.

You can experience it during their Initial Consultation – see how smooth and natural online therapy really is.

No. You do not need an autism diagnosis to begin speech therapy. Support for communication can start as soon as you reach out.
No. You can contact a speech pathologist directly in Australia.
