Learn more about what speech pathology is and how we can support you and your child to achieve your goals.

What We Offer

Speech pathology supports children and adolescents communication in everyday life. This includes how we speak, understand and use language, interact with others, learn at school, and participate in mealtimes.

At Shoreline Speech Pathology, we provide both assessment and therapy tailored to each individual’s strengths, needs, interests and goals to make functional changes day to day.

What to expect

Initial Assessment

We listen and discuss your observations of your child’s communication.

We explore your child’s current communication skills and get to know your child through a combination of play-based and formal assessment to identify strengths and areas needing further support.

Collaborate on goals

While we know speech pathology, you know your child best.

By combining our professional knowledge with your lived experience, we work together to create meaningful, functional goals that truly matter to your child and family.

Therapy

Therapy is reliant on engagement, motivation, and connection for success.

We incorporate each child’s interests and strengths into evidence based therapy sessions, using fun, play, and meaningful activities to meet children where they are at and support engagement, build skills and confidence, and make genuine progress.

Ongoing Support

We provide you with practical and achievable strategies and activities for home follow up between sessions to consolidate skills and support progress.

We check in and make sure you feel confident with supporting your child’s communication and development.
