Speech Language & Literacy
Impact Speech Pathology provide an individualised literacy program for children. An evidence-based intervention program is recommended prior to an assessment to determine if a child has a specific learning difficulty.

Pragmatics (Social Skills)
Our therapists at Impact Speech Pathology are trained to develop language and communication to assist in social settings. This is known as pragmatic language. The development of pragmatic language helps children convey their ideas and feelings so they can solve problems and build relationships. Children with ASD can benefit from specific training in pragmatic language. As part of our service, we offer group programs to assist children to develop their social skills with peers.

We provide speech pathology intervention to NDIS clients who are planned managed or self managed.
Our service works in collaboartion with Thrive-Group to provide a multi-disciplinary service for speech pathology and occupational therapy service. Further to this we have intervention meetings with schools, early educators and paediatricians to set goals for our clinets to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Following an initial assessment your child’s therapist will set goals and a timeline for their individualised therapy program. Therapy timelines are tailored to suit each individual client.
Ongoing professional development so all our therapists have up-to-date training is essential for therapy to be evidence based and for clients to get the best outcomes. Therapists continue their ongoing professional learning each year. We have staff trained in The Secret Agents Society Program, Hanen, Mealtime Assistance, Lego Group, Colourful Semantics, Little Learners Love Literacy Program and Speech Sound Delays.
No child is too young to commence intervention. Research supports the introduction of early intervention supports for the best possible otcomes for children. The first step is to complete the assessment and then an intervention plan can be implemented.
Staff at Impact Speech Pathology see their clients in the clinic and by arrangement in the school. We do not provide a service to homes.
