Mobile speech therapy and occupational therapy that comes to you. Help for late talkers, fussy eaters, handwriting struggles, autism, and more across Annerley and Brisbane.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

We provide specialised speech therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder at all levels of support. With extensive experience, we understand the unique communication challenges that children with autism face and tailor our approach to each child's individual needs, strengths, and interests.

What We Support

Our autism-focused therapy addresses a wide range of communication areas including:

  • Social communication skills and pragmatic language
  • Developing functional communication systems
  • Expressive and receptive language development
  • Alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) when appropriate
  • Joint attention and turn-taking skills
  • Understanding and using non-verbal communication
  • Building conversation skills

Our Approach

We use evidence-based, play-based interventions that meet your child where they are. We work within your child's interests and natural routines to make learning engaging and meaningful. Parent involvement is crucial, and we provide ongoing coaching to help you support your child's communication throughout their day.

Language Delays & Disorders

Language delays and disorders can impact a child's ability to understand others (receptive language) and express themselves (expressive language). We provide comprehensive assessment and therapy to support children's language development at all stages.

Areas of Support

  • Vocabulary development and word learning
  • Understanding and using grammar
  • Following instructions and comprehension
  • Asking and answering questions
  • Narrative skills and storytelling
  • Phonological awareness for literacy readiness

Through play-based activities and functional tasks, we help children build their language skills in ways that are meaningful and engaging. Early intervention is key, and we work closely with families to maximise progress.

Stuttering (Fluency Therapy)

Stuttering can impact a child's confidence and willingness to communicate. We provide evidence-based fluency therapy using approaches tailored to your child's age and needs, helping them communicate more confidently.

What We Offer

  • Comprehensive fluency assessments
  • Lidcombe Program for preschool children
  • Smooth speech techniques for older children
  • Confidence building and reducing communication anxiety
  • Parent education and home practice strategies
  • Collaboration with teachers and other professionals

Our approach focuses not just on fluency techniques, but on building your child's overall communication confidence and ensuring stuttering doesn't hold them back from expressing themselves.

Down Syndrome

Children with Down syndrome have unique speech and language profiles that benefit from specialised, tailored intervention. We have extensive experience working with children with Down syndrome, addressing their specific communication needs.

Support Areas

  • Speech sound production and intelligibility
  • Language development (expressive and receptive)
  • Oral motor skills and feeding difficulties
  • Alternative communication strategies when needed
  • Social communication skills
  • Literacy support

We work collaboratively with families and other professionals to ensure comprehensive support that addresses your child's full range of needs.

Developmental Delays

Early intervention is crucial for children experiencing developmental delays. We provide comprehensive assessment and therapy to support children who are developing communication skills at a different pace than their peers.

Our approach focuses on building foundational communication skills, supporting speech and language milestone achievement, and providing families with strategies to support their child's development in everyday routines. We work closely with other early intervention professionals to ensure coordinated, comprehensive support.

Comprehensive Assessments

A thorough assessment is the foundation of effective therapy. We conduct comprehensive speech and language assessments that provide a clear picture of your child's strengths, challenges, and therapy needs.

Assessment Process

  • Detailed case history and parent interview
  • Standardized testing when appropriate
  • Observation of communication in natural contexts
  • Analysis of speech sounds, language skills, and social communication
  • Comprehensive written report with recommendations
  • Detailed therapy plan with functional goals

Our assessments are thorough, family-friendly, and provide actionable insights for therapy, school, and NDIS planning.

Second Opinions

Sometimes families seek a second opinion to better understand their child's diagnosis, therapy plan, or progress. We provide professional, independent second opinions that give families clarity and confidence in their decision-making.

This may include reviewing previous assessments, conducting new evaluations, discussing therapy approaches, or providing recommendations for next steps. Our goal is to empower families with the information they need to make informed decisions about their child's care.

NDIS Reporting & Support

Navigating the NDIS can be complex. Having worked with the NDIS since its inception, we have deep knowledge of the system and excel at preparing reports that accurately reflect your child's needs and maximise funding opportunities.

NDIS Services

  • Comprehensive assessments for initial NDIS applications
  • Detailed reports for plan reviews
  • Goal setting aligned with NDIS frameworks
  • Evidence-based therapy recommendations
  • Progress reports and outcome measurements
  • Guidance on using your NDIS funding effectively

We understand what the NDIS looks for in reports and how to clearly communicate your child's needs, therapy goals, and funding requirements. Our detailed, professional reports help families secure the support their children need.

Complex Cases

Children with multiple diagnoses or complex needs require specialised, coordinated care. We have extensive experience working with complex cases and take a holistic, collaborative approach to therapy.

This includes working with children who have multiple diagnoses such as autism with language disorder, cerebral palsy, genetic conditions, or combinations of developmental challenges. We collaborate closely with other professionals including physiotherapists, paediatricians, and educators to ensure comprehensive, coordinated support.

Our experience with complex cases means we can adapt therapy approaches, problem-solve challenges, and support families navigating multiple interventions and systems.

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapist works with children to develop the skills they need for everyday activities, play, and learning. We focus on building independence and confidence across all areas of your child's daily life.

What We Support

  • Fine motor skills and hand strength
  • Sensory processing and regulation
  • Self-care skills (dressing, eating, toileting)
  • Handwriting and pre-writing skills
  • Gross motor coordination and balance
  • Visual perception and motor planning
  • Play skills and social participation
  • School readiness and classroom skills

Our Approach

We use play-based, child-centred interventions that make therapy engaging and meaningful. As part of our multidisciplinary team, our occupational therapist works closely with our speech therapists to provide coordinated care that addresses your child's full range of developmental needs.

Sensory Processing

Sensory processing difficulties can significantly impact a child's ability to engage with their environment, learn, and interact with others. Our occupational therapist provides specialised assessment and intervention to help children better regulate and respond to sensory input.

Signs Your Child May Need Sensory Support

  • Over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, textures, or movement
  • Difficulty with transitions or changes in routine
  • Avoiding certain textures, foods, or activities
  • Seeking intense movement, crashing, or spinning
  • Difficulty sitting still or focusing in class
  • Becoming overwhelmed in busy or noisy environments
  • Challenges with emotional regulation

How We Help

We develop individualised sensory strategies and programs that help your child feel more regulated and comfortable in their daily environments. We work closely with families and educators to implement sensory supports across home, school, and community settings.

Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor skills are essential for many everyday tasks, from writing and drawing to using cutlery and buttons. Our occupational therapist helps children develop the hand strength, coordination, and dexterity they need to succeed at school and in daily life.

Areas of Support

  • Pencil grip and handwriting
  • Scissor skills and craft activities
  • Hand strength and finger dexterity
  • Bilateral coordination (using both hands together)
  • Fastening buttons, zippers, and laces
  • Using utensils for eating
  • Keyboard and technology skills

We use fun, engaging activities to build fine motor skills naturally, ensuring children develop confidence alongside capability. Our therapy is tailored to each child's age, interests, and specific areas of difficulty.
