We have been at Kid Speak for a while now and I refuse to leave because the teachers are so good with the level of support and help they provide for both my boys.

“Our children (3 and 5) see Kristy at Kid Speak, and she has been wonderful with both our children! She is bubbly, caring, proactive and tailors the therapies to our children’s interests and needs. Kristy is so patient and gentle with our 3 year old who can be non-verbal. She also communicates so well with us about our children’s therapies, which we especially appreciate when one of our children’s therapies is school-based. Kristy is dedicated to helping our children thrive and my husband and I clearly see she genuinely cares about our children, and that they’re not just two of many to her. We saw two other speech pathologists before Kristy, and Kristy far stands out as being the perfect fit for our children. We can’t thank Kristy enough for her support of our children and to us.”

We are very happy with Ms. Grace Hutson. She has instantly hit a rapport with our son Abhinav during the initial session and has developed a good bond with him. Abhinav is very happy to attend the sessions with Grace and has made good progress in his speech development in the short span of time. Grace has been very understanding to listen to our needs and concerns and provide us with right solutions. We are very happy to recommend Grace & Kid Speak to any of our friends and acquaintances who are in need of similar support.

My daughter has been seeing Speech Pathologist Keely for approximately 6 months now.
We find her service to be very professional and individually focused. We have been getting support with many different issues my daughter has been having including, her social awareness and communication skills, expanding her limited diet with food therapy and building on recognising emotions in herself and others around her. I have done and would continue to recommend Kids Speak services. Thank you Keely!

I highly recommend Grace at Kidspeak.
I currently have 2 kids seeing her in Success for various different speech related issues and she is so patient and kind they both love her and really enjoy their sessions. Grace goes above and beyond to make their sessions fun whilst they learn and both kids have come a long way since starting with Kidspeak.

We were feeling so overwhelmed by our son’s inability to control his stutter. We had tried a few Speech Pathologists and nothing was helping. Then we found KiD Speak. Not only did the team work around us to set up online sessions for our son who battles with ASD and prefers to work from home, but Carissa our Speechie – has worked miracles to not only help Brandon control his stutter, but actually understand what sets it off. Brandon looks forward to his sessions. He describes the sessions as “fun work that really helps”. Carissa is a Child Whisperer who loves her work, and loves creating the building blocks for confident communicators. We cannot believe the difference in our son, in so short a time. What a joy to have a child finally mastering his own speech demons.

There are many reasons children attend speech therapy. Sometimes, children may not be communicating within developmental milestones. Other times, speech therapy can boost development and academic success. Cockburn speech therapy can give your child the tools they need to be confident learners within the classroom. Please see our tip sheets which you can use to help decide whether speech therapy could assist your child. Alternatively, our Cockburn speech pathologists are always happy to discuss your child’s communication with you- please don’t hesitate to call.
Every child is different and learns at their own pace. Once your child has been assessed, their speech pathologist will recommend a specific therapy plan.
Therapy at Kid Speak is flexible and centered around the needs of your child. Some sessions may be play based. Other times a structured, table top approach may be more appropriate. Generally speaking, your child will complete ‘blocks’ of activities separated by short breaks. Our Cockburn speech therapists will provide strategies and activities so you are empowered to support your child’s communication skills at home.
Speech therapy rebates can be claimed with private health insurers. Your rebate will depend on your level of cover. Medicare rebates may also be available under a Medicare subsidized Health Care Plan (accessed via your General Practitioner).
Our speech therapists are located near you. We have speech pathology clinics both North and South of Perth in Shenton Park and Success.

Our Success clinic is visited by clients from the surrounding suburbs such as Cockburn, Jandakot, Beeliar, Bibra Lake and Leeming to name just a few suburbs close by our South of the River clinic.
Not always. Parents/ carers may self refer by calling (08) 6383 9918 or emailing enquiries@kidspeakperth.com.au. A referral from your General Practitioner is required for families claiming sessions under a Medicare subsided Health Care Plan.
Absolutely! In order for your child to learn with your Speech Pathologist they must feel safe and comfortable. During your first few sessions, your speech therapist will take time to get to know your child by working at their pace and gradually engaging them with toys that they like. As your child shows that they are feeling comfortable, your Speech Pathologist will begin to introduce communication-building activities, nestled within fun activities.
Not at all! Speech and language skills require practise and develop over time. We can work with you to build these skills to ensure they become easier for your child.
