Individual Sessions

Would you like individualised one-on-one support to develop your child's speech, language or literacy skills?  Talking Matters speech pathologists provide individual therapy sessions working with children to develop skills in their areas of need, through fun activities.    

Individual therapy sessions are provided to develop children's speech and language skills and for older children literacy skills and phonological awareness are often also targeted. We also provide therapy for children who stutter. Children who work with Talking Matters consultants  in individual sessions all work to achieve goals which have been specifically developed by their speech pathologist for them.  No two programs would look the same or be delivered in exactly the same way.  We know your child is special and will get the most out of sessions when the program is developed with their strengths and needs in mind.

Individual sessions with the speech pathologist can be arranged at various intervals based on your child's needs and what you as their parent or caregiver would prefer. Your speech pathologist will make recommendations about the best possible way to help your child in order to help you decide how often you would like your child to attend. 

Speech pathology sessions may be claimable under your "Extras" cover if you have health insurance. Rebates generally cover a little over half of the cost but you should discuss this with your health insurance provider. Families who receive the Carer's Allowance to support therapy costs receive enough financial assistance to cover sessions as often as weekly with only a small contribution.
