At Eat Speak Play, we offer a range of services including speech pathology, feeding therapy, and allied health assistant support for children aged 0–18 years.
Our approach is centred on recognising and celebrating each child's unique strengths and abilities. We focus on building essential life skills through developmentally appropriate, personalised therapy that respects and honours individuality.
By creating a safe and supportive environment, we empower children to thrive, grow, and feel confident in their own identities. Our commitment to a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach ensures that every child feels valued and respected.
Our Approach
Therapy Journey
Initial assessment:
We start by understanding your child's unique needs and strengths using formalised assessments and informal observations
Personalised Treatment Plan:
Based on the assessment, we create a tailored Treatment Plan for you to take home. An assessment report will follow if this has not been completed within the last 12 months.
Therapy Block:
Your child engages in regular weekly therapy sessions to build skills and confidence. A therapy block consists of face to face sessions, along with case meetings and collaboration with key stakeholders.
Collaborative care is necessary to achieve best results.
End-of-Term Progress Review:
We evaluate progress and discuss next steps with you.
Next Steps:
Depending on progress, we either continue with another therapy block, reassess for new goals, or plan for discharge when goals are met.
