Communication Therapy

We support children who need help with understanding language, using words to express themselves, or interacting socially. At Simplify Speech, we believe in tailoring therapy to your child’s unique needs.

Our Speech Pathologists at Simplify Speech can support with:

Speech clarity and sound production
Expressive and receptive language delays or disorders
Reading, writing, and spelling challenges
Late talkers or children with limited vocabulary
Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) systems
Play development and engagement
Social communication and self-advocacy using a strengths-based approach
Feeding difficulties
Supporting a wide range of diagnoses including Autism Spectrum Disorder
Non-verbal or minimally verbal children

Every session is designed to be fun, functional, and family-centred, helping your child thrive in the ways that matter most.

Literacy Therapy

Is your child finding reading or writing tricky? Our literacy therapy builds strong foundations in phonological awareness, decoding, comprehension, and spelling. We use evidence-based strategies to support your child to become a confident reader and writer, whether they’re just starting school or already on their learning journey.

At Simplify Speech, our Speech Pathologists have completed further professional development in evidence-based programs including:

Sounds-Write – a structured synthetic phonics program supporting accurate reading and spelling
Learnersaurus – tools and strategies to boost literacy confidence using a multi-sensory approach

We tailor literacy support to suit your child’s strengths and challenges, making learning engaging, achievable, and effective.

Group Therapy

Our group therapy sessions offer children the chance to build their communication, social, and learning skills in a fun, interactive, and supportive environment. Working alongside peers can be incredibly powerful – it helps children feel less alone in their challenges, while also learning to communicate, play, and engage with others.

We offer group programs across a range of developmental areas, including:

Speech and language development
Early and school-age literacy skills
Feeding and mealtime skills
Social communication and play

Group therapy is led by experienced Speech Pathologists and may also involve allied health assistants where appropriate. Group sizes are kept small to ensure individualised attention within a social learning setting.

We also offer seasonal and school holiday programs – contact us to find out what’s coming up!

Parent Groups

We believe that parents are powerful partners in their child’s development. That’s why we offer supportive, evidence-based parent groups designed to educate, connect, and empower families. These sessions are not only informative, but also provide a safe and welcoming space to share experiences and learn alongside others walking a similar path.

Our current parent groups include:

More Than Words Program: A world-renowned program designed for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or social communication difficulties
Feeding Education Groups: Understand why your child may be avoiding certain foods, how to support variety and mealtime success, and how to manage mealtime stress with calm, confidence, and realistic expectations
Prep Readiness Parent Education Sessions: Designed for families of children starting school, these sessions focus on the key communication, literacy, social, and self-help skills that support a smooth and confident transition to Prep

Parent groups can be delivered in person or online, and are suitable for families at various stages — whether you’re looking to better understand your child’s needs, or want to build on what you’re already doing at home.

Assessment

Comprehensive, family-centred, strength-based assessments are a core part of our service. We offer thorough assessments to understand your child's current abilities and plan for their next steps. We also offer AAC evaluations to determine the most appropriate communication systems and supports.

Assessments can be completed for a variety of purposes, including:

NDIS reporting – Functional assessments and reports to support funding applications, plan reviews, and ongoing supports
School or inclusion support – Reports to assist with classroom adjustments or applications for additional learning support
Therapy planning – Guiding the development of personalised, meaningful therapy goals
Collaborative care – Helping other allied health professionals (such as OTs, psychologists, or support workers) better understand your child’s communication, literacy, or feeding profile
Family understanding – Empowering parents with insights into their child’s strengths, challenges, and how best to support them at home
Child insight and self-awareness – Supporting children in understanding their own communication or learning profile in a positive, strengths-based way

We're here to ensure families feel informed and empowered every step of the way.

Mobile Services

We know that life is busy – and every child is different. That’s why we offer mobile services where therapy comes to you. Whether it’s at home, school, daycare, or kindy, we work in your child’s familiar environment to support their learning and development.

Benefits of our mobile service include:

Convenience – No need to travel. We come to you to save you time and make therapy more accessible
Natural environment – Therapy in familiar surroundings helps children feel more comfortable and confident
Collaborative care – We can liaise directly with teachers, educators, or carers to ensure consistent strategies across settings
Functional goals – Working within everyday routines helps us target practical communication, literacy, play, and feeding goals that matter to you
Flexibility – We offer regular ongoing sessions or one-off visits depending on your needs

Telehealth Services

We understand that getting to appointments isn’t always easy – whether it’s due to busy schedules, distance, health concerns, or simply needing a more flexible option. Our telehealth services allow your child to access high-quality speech pathology support from the comfort of your own home.

Benefits of telehealth include:

Convenience and flexibility – No travel time or waiting rooms. Ideal for families juggling multiple commitments
Access from anywhere – Perfect for families in rural or remote areas, or during times when in-person visits aren’t practical
Comfort and confidence – Children often feel more relaxed participating in therapy at home
Continuity of care – Stay connected to your therapist even if you're unwell, away, or needing a backup option

We make telehealth fun, playful, and practical – and we’ll guide you every step of the way to make sure it works smoothly for your family

Education & Screening Services

We offer customised education and training sessions for schools, daycares, kindergartens, and other community services. These sessions are ideal for educators, support staff, and leadership teams looking to build knowledge in child development, communication, feeding, play, or other relevant areas.

Our education sessions are:

Tailored to your setting and team needs
Suitable for staff professional development days or targeted workshops
Available in-person or via telehealth
Designed to be practical, evidence-based, and immediately applicable

We also provide screening assessments for children within your service. These help identify those who may benefit from further speech, language, literacy, or feeding support. Each child receives a brief screening report that can be shared with families and used to guide next steps.

This service is perfect for early identification and early intervention – helping children get the support they need as early as possible.

External Supervision

We’re passionate about supporting the growth and confidence of other professionals in the speech pathology and allied health space. Simplify Speech offers external clinical supervision and mentoring to both Speech Pathologists and Allied Health Assistants (AHAs), whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your skills in specific areas.

We provide supervision that is:

Reflective and supportive – A safe space to unpack challenges, celebrate progress, and develop your clinical reasoning
Evidence-based – Guidance that draws on current best practice, practical strategies, and relevant research
Tailored to your needs – Whether you’re seeking help with paediatric communication, feeding, AAC, play-based therapy, or NDIS documentation, we can tailor sessions to your goals
Flexible delivery – Available in person or via telehealth to suit your location and schedule
