“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.

Bridget has been wonderful with our young son. She has fostered a lovely connection with him, which has allowed his therapy to become more successful with each visit.

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.

Children develop at their own pace, but certain signs may indicate your child could benefit from speech therapy. Difficulties with pronunciation, comprehension of instructions, or sentence construction might be things to note. Other times, children may be having difficulty making and maintaining friendships/ . Consultation and assessment with ourSpeech Pathologists in Mt Claremont is the best way to identify issues early.
The duration and type of therapy depend on your child’s individual needs. Depending on the complexity of your child’s needs and their rate of progression, therapy could span from a few months to several years. With every child developing at a different rate, there’s no standard timeframe for speech therapy. Our therapeutic plans are flexible and adapt to your child’s needs.

Absolutely, it’s entirely normal for kids to be shy when they first attend speech therapy.. Our Speech Pathologists provide a safe, welcoming atmosphere where children can feel at ease and have fun. We prioritise understanding your child and taking the time to form a bond with your child. If it takes a little longer for your child to feel comfortable, we’re here to support them.
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.
