Our speech pathologists come to you in your community where you live, work, learn and play. The best way to build your skills is to work with you in your everyday environments while also helping to change community attitudes that may be holding you back. Clinics are simulated environments which don’t present the same barriers and challenges as real-life, everyday environments.
The first step is an initial assessment with a disability practitioner or speech pathologist to understand your participation and support needs across all aspects of your life. Your speech pathologist will look beyond limitations to focus on your goals and aspirations. They’ll look at the activities you do every day, alongside the challenges you face, the people who support you and the environment you live in.
Then they’ll create a one, two or three year therapy plan, which outlines the best mix of practitioners (including a habit coach) and strategies to help you achieve the breakthroughs required on your pathway towards positive change.
After the initial sessions you’ll then move into a regular rhythm of therapy overseen by your primary therapist plus a mix of other practitioners (eg. occupational therapist, physiotherapist, behaviour support practitioner, and habit coach) depending on the goals you set. You may have a burst of therapy sessions conducted by your occupational therapist, and then practice the routines and skills with a habit coach between therapy sessions.
