FAQs 

Q1: At what age should I be worried about my child's speech?
A: If your child has not started saying meaningful words by 18 months or phrases by 2–2.5 years, or adults can’t understand most of their speech by age 3, please seek an assessment. Early intervention helps.

Q2: How long does speech therapy take to show results?
A: Many children show improvement within 8–12 weekly sessions; however, duration depends on diagnosis, severity and home practice. We set measurable short-term goals and review progress regularly.

Q3: Do you offer online speech therapy?
A: Yes — we provide secure online sessions for assessment follow-ups and therapy, particularly useful for families in remote areas.

Q4: Will my child need AAC (communication device)?
A: AAC is considered when verbal speech does not meet communication needs. We trial low-tech (picture boards) and high-tech options, always focusing on functional communication.

Q5: Is therapy covered by insurance?
A: Coverage varies by insurer and policy. We provide detailed reports and invoices you can submit to your provider.

Q6: How can parents support speech development at home?
A: We provide simple daily activities, play strategies, and targeted practice routines tailored to your child's goals to maximise carryover.
