Highly recommend this place 👍
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.
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.
Your service and assistance provided has been absolutely stunning. We can not thank you enough for the time that you spend with Ollie in helping him to grow.
I just had the most amazing conversation with my son about a drawing that he had just done of driving and the visual representing a car. He would not have had the confidence or ability to share this prior to starting sessions with wanda, he was able to put some verbal with some sign language and a visual- truly fantastic, incredible and a magical moment to be captured.
Your service provided to us has been absolutely impeccable

Is your child…
- Slow to start speaking or not using as many words as their peers?
- Hard to understand, even to close family members?
- Having trouble with certain sounds or forming full sentences?
- Struggling to express themselves, even when they know what they want to say?
You're not alone. We support families every day to understand their child's communication needs—and to make real, lasting progress from the comfort of home.
If any of these sound familiar, book an initial consultation today.
Speech Pathology for More Than Just Speech
Speech therapy for children isn’t just about sounds. Our work supports:
- Language development (understanding/using words and grammar)
- Social communication (conversation, turn-taking, eye contact)
- Play and emotional connection
- Literacy and phonological awareness
- School readiness and classroom learning
- Clear speech and articulation
- Stuttering and fluency
- Supporting children with autism, ADHD, speech delays or dyslexia
Every child is different. That’s why we tailor every session to your child’s goals, strengths, and unique personality.

Frequently asked questions about speech pathology for children
Is online speech therapy suitable for toddlers and preschoolers?
Yes. Young children often respond especially well to online sessions—especially when they’re in a familiar environment. For this age group, therapy is focused on parent coaching, so you’ll play an active role in helping your child develop early communication skills through play, routines and everyday moments.
Will my child be able to stay engaged?
Sessions are designed to be short, fun and interactive. We use songs, toys, visuals, and tools like virtual backgrounds to keep your child interested—plus we’re trained in leading programs like Hanen®, which work beautifully via video.
What can I expect from my child’s first appointment?
Your therapist will get to know your child, assess their needs, and start building a tailored therapy plan. You’ll join the session too, so we can talk through your goals and answer any questions.
We’ll use fun, interactive tools—like games, visuals and props—to help your child feel comfortable and engaged. If your child is very young, we’ll guide you in how to support their progress between sessions.
You’ll leave the appointment with a clear understanding of where your child is at—and what to do next.
How is online speech therapy different to in-person speech therapy?
In many ways, it isn’t! You’ll still receive:
- Therapy from a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) registered with Speech Pathology Australia
- Personalised, evidence-based therapy plans tailored to your child’s goals
- Access to leading therapy methods including Lidcombe, Camperdown, Hanen, PEERS, Sounds-Write and more
- The same high standards in planning, delivery, and clinical care as you’d expect in any in-person setting
And of course—no waiting rooms or travel.
How do I prepare for the first session?
It’s simple. All you need is:
- A stable internet connection
- A quiet, well-lit space
- A computer, tablet or smartphone
If your child is used to having a parent or carer present during therapy, we recommend joining the session with them. If you'd like more tips, check out our article on preparing for your first session.
What equipment do I need for online speech therapy?
All you need is a device (computer, tablet or smartphone) with internet access. A headset can help improve sound quality, but it’s optional.
We use secure, confidential and easy-to-use video conferencing software. Most families are set up and ready to go within minutes.
What if my child (or the client) can’t use a phone or computer?
Not a problem. As long as there’s someone who can assist (like a parent, teacher or carer), we can work with them too.
For these clients, therapy often involves coaching the communication partner to help deliver activities and strategies. It’s still effective, supportive and personalised.
Is online speech therapy covered by the NDIS?
Yes. If you have funding under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living, your sessions with us are fully covered under the NDIS. No out-of-pocket expenses.
We’re happy to assist with service agreements and reporting—just let us know what you need.
