How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?

Children may benefit from speech therapy if they have difficulty speaking clearly, understanding language, following instructions, socialising, stuttering, or expressing themselves effectively. A speech pathology assessment can help identify your child’s communication needs and recommend appropriate supports.

What age should a child start speech therapy?

Children can begin speech therapy at any age, including during the toddler and preschool years. Early intervention can support communication, learning, confidence, and social development.

What does a speech pathologist help with?

Speech pathologists support children with speech clarity, language delays, autism and social communication, stuttering, literacy, feeding and swallowing difficulties, and AAC or non-verbal communication needs.

Do you provide speech therapy for children with autism?

Yes. Resilient Kidz provides neuroaffirming speech therapy for autistic children, supporting communication, social interaction, emotional understanding, AAC, and meaningful participation in everyday life.

Is speech therapy covered by the NDIS?

Yes. Speech pathology services may be funded through an NDIS plan when they are considered reasonable and necessary supports related to a child’s disability or developmental needs. Resilient Kidz supports self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants.

Do you offer mobile speech therapy in Adelaide?

Yes. Resilient Kidz offers mobile speech therapy services across Adelaide, including home visits, schools, childcare centres, and community settings, as well as appointments at our Beulah Park clinic.

How long does speech therapy take?

The duration of speech therapy depends on your child’s individual needs, goals, and progress. Some children benefit from short-term support, while others may require ongoing therapy over a longer period.

What happens during the first speech therapy appointment?

The first appointment typically includes discussion about your concerns and goals, assessment of communication or feeding skills, observation and interaction activities, therapy recommendations, and strategies to support your child at home.

Can speech therapy help with feeding difficulties?

Yes. Speech pathologists can support children experiencing feeding, chewing, swallowing, oral motor, or fussy eating difficulties by helping build safer and more confident eating skills.

Do I need a referral for speech therapy?

No referral is required to access speech therapy services at Resilient Kidz. Parents, caregivers, schools, GPs, and allied health professionals can all make referrals or enquiries directly.

How often will my child need speech therapy?

Therapy frequency depends on your child’s needs and goals. Some children attend weekly sessions, while others may benefit from fortnightly or consultative support.

What areas of Adelaide do you service?

Resilient Kidz provides speech therapy services across Adelaide metropolitan suburbs, including the eastern, western, northern, and southern suburbs.
