Speech Therapy Doncaster East

We provide comprehensive assessments to assist in diagnosis and therapy for communication difficulties.

Assessments

Our speech pathology clinic in Doncaster East offers a wide range of assessments to support children’s communication, social and literacy development. We assess areas such as speech, language (including oral language and pragmatic language), phonological awareness, fluency and literacy. We also provide strength-based assessments for neurodivergent children, including those who are autistic, to better understand their communication profiles.

Case History

Prior to assessment and therapy, we gather detailed information to better understand your child’s development, communication style, strengths and support needs. This helps us provide personalised, functional support for your child and family.

Informal Assessment

We use informal observation and play-based interactions to learn more about your child’s communication and interaction style. These approaches help us understand their strengths, interests and how they best engage and learn.

Therapy Plan

After assessment, we create a personalised support plan based on your child’s unique strengths and goals. This plan is developed in collaboration with you and focuses on meaningful, functional outcomes. A written report can be provided upon request.

Therapy and Screening

  • Individual Therapy

    Individual therapy sessions are generally offered on a weekly or fortnightly basis at our speech pathology clinic in Doncaster East. Goals are formulated with the child’s caregiver and are based on outcomes from observations, parent interviews and assessment. The child’s caregiver and therapist will also work together on planning home practice speech therapy activities.

  • Telehealth Sessions

    We offer Telehealth sessions where appropriate, allowing greater access to services.

  • Mobile Sessions

    Speech pathology assessment and children’s speech therapy sessions are also offered within the home, school, kindergarten and childcare environments. Mobile sessions are subject to availability.

  • Screenings

    Focus on Speech offers screenings at their speech pathology clinic in Doncaster East. Children’s language, speech and phonological awareness abilities are screened and a report with recommendations is provided. Please contact administration if you would like to arrange a screening.

  • Professional Development at Kindergartens and Schools

    Focus on Speech demonstrates a passion for working with educators to support the learning and developmental outcomes of children at kindergarten and school.

    Our treating clinicians work closely with teachers, teacher aides, well-being coordinators and parents, to support them in areas such as language, speech, learning, literacy and social skills. Our experienced clinicians are also equipped to support kindergartens and schools in the form of direct individual or small group professional development for support staff and teachers.

    The importance of assisting children with learning and/or pragmatic challenges cannot be understated. Should you wish to discuss and explore the various options, please feel free to email us at admin@focusonspeech.com.au; i.e. to discuss how we might work together to support your staff in assisting children with special needs to functionally integrate within the classroom.

Group Sessions

Focus on Speech offers group programs during the school term and on the school holidays. Please speak to our team about current and future group dates and times.

Focus on Speech is dedicated to providing the highest quality groups for children and adolescents.

We take the time to get to know as much about your child as we can prior to the commencement of the group to ensure that they are placed in a group that is well matched for them in age, needs and ability.

Flexible appointment times are available from Monday to Friday during business hours.

To make an appointment, please call us on 03 9848 8822
