Speech therapy supports children with communication, speech, language, literacy, social interaction, and even feeding challenges. At May’s Speech Therapy, we use evidence-based, play-based approaches to help children communicate confidently and feel understood.
If your child struggles to speak clearly, understand instructions, use words effectively, engage socially, or is not meeting communication milestones, an assessment can help determine whether speech therapy is recommended.
Your first session is relaxed and child-friendly. It includes:
We tailor assessments to your child’s needs and may include:
There’s no “too early” when it comes to early intervention. We work with children from toddler age onwards. If you have concerns, it’s best to get started as soon as possible.
No referral is needed. However, if you have a GP referral under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates.
Most sessions are 45–60 minutes. The frequency depends on your child’s goals and needs. Some attend weekly, others fortnightly. We’ll recommend a plan that works for your child and your schedule.
That’s completely okay! We take a gentle, child-led approach and work at your child’s pace. Building trust and comfort is part of our process, especially for little ones.
We’re passionate about creating a warm, family-centered experience. Our therapists are highly trained in a range of specialised approaches (including support for Autism, literacy, feeding, and social skills). We focus on celebrating progress—big or small—and making sure every child feels seen, heard, and supported.
