Speech Pathology Support for Preschoolers, Children and Teens (Ages 2-18)
Wondering if your child's skills are on track?
At The Soundmill Centre, we provide speech pathology support for children and teenagers aged 2 to 18 years, helping them build communication skills, confidence, and independence — at home, at school, and in the community.
Many families come to us feeling unsure. You might be asking yourself:
-
Is this just a phase or should I check in?
-
My child understands a lot but isn’t talking much — is that okay?
-
Reading, spelling, or writing seem harder than they should be — should I be worried?
-
Mealtimes are stressful — can speech pathology help with feeding?
-
Does my teenager need extra support or just reassurance?
If these questions sound familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
How our speech pathologists can help
We support children and adolescents with speech, language, literacy, and feeding difficulties, offering:
-
Developmental screening and comprehensive assessments
-
Individualised speech pathology therapy
-
Clear guidance and practical strategies for families and schools
We work with:
-
Young children (from 2 years of age)
-
Preschool and primary school–aged children
-
Teenagers up to 18 years who may benefit from a check-in, assessment, or targeted support
Whether you’re seeking reassurance or ongoing therapy, we tailor our support to your child’s strengths, needs, and stage of development.
Flexible support that fits your family
We know family life is busy, and no two situations are the same. Our speech pathology services are offered across a range of settings, including:
-

Together, we’ll find a practical, flexible approach that works for your family and supports meaningful outcomes for your child.
Care you can trust
All of our clinicians are Certified Practising Speech Pathologists, registered with Speech Pathology Australia. We take a holistic, evidence-informed approach, supporting:
-
Communication and learning
-
Emotional wellbeing and confidence
-
Participation at school and in everyday life
-
Long-term development and future opportunities
Above all, we believe in working with families — listening carefully, explaining things clearly, and supporting children at their own pace.
What happens next?
If you’re considering speech pathology support, here’s what the process usually looks like:
1. Start the conversation
Reach out with your questions or concerns — no referral is needed, and there’s no pressure to commit.
2. Initial assessment or check-in
We’ll recommend the most appropriate next step, whether that’s a screening, a comprehensive assessment, or simple reassurance.
3. Individualised support
If support is needed, we’ll work with you to develop a clear plan tailored to your child, your goals, and your family’s needs.
4. Monitoring and discharge
Once you child has reached their goals, we work with you to develop a clear monitoring and discharge pathway.
We’ll guide you through each step and make sure you feel informed and supported along the way.
Ready to talk it through?
If you have concerns about your child’s speech, language, literacy, or feeding development — or you’re simply unsure and want to check — we’d love to hear from you.
No referral needed • NDIS and private clients are all welcome
