From expressing yourself, joining in conversations or sharing a meal with family and friends, expect our team to build your confidence and equip you to do the things you want, your way.
Communication is part of everyday life – connecting with others, expressing your needs, and taking part in the world around you.
If something is getting in the way of communication, our Adelaide speech pathologists are here to support you to build the skills and confidence to create positive change in your everyday life.
At Everyday Independence, speech therapy is about more than words. Our Adelaide-based speech pathologists support you to:
We work as part of a broader team that may include occupational therapists, physiotherapists and behaviour support practitioners, ensuring your support is connected and tailored to your goals.
Speech therapy helps children, teenagers and adults improve communication, language, speech clarity and swallowing skills. It is commonly funded through the NDIS under Capacity Building like Improved Daily Living and supports people to participate more confidently in everyday life.
For some people, speech therapy might mean building confidence to join conversations. For others, it may involve using AAC devices or improving swallowing after a stroke.
Speech pathology supports a wide range of goals across all ages. Every plan is personalised to focus on what matters most to you.
We use a Key Worker approach, where one therapist works closely with your family and brings in other therapists when needed. This helps your child build communication skills in everyday environments like home and kindergarten.
Speech therapy for children up to nine years can help with:
Our therapists work in everyday environments, at home, childcare or school so children build new skills in the places they need them.
Teenage years bring new social, emotional and educational demands.
We support teenagers to:
For some young people, this includes using AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) tools such as communication devices or visual supports.
We support communication for everyday life, from relationships and social situations to work and community participation.
We support adults with:
Our focus is always on helping you participate in the life you want to live, at home, at work and in your community.
We don’t work on communication in a clinic room.
We come to you at home, school, work or in the community so you can build skills in the places you use them every day.
We take a team approach, bringing together the right therapists when needed, so you have one plan and one team supporting you.
Our team works across Adelaide including metro Adelaide, Northern Adelaide, Eastern Adelaide, Western Adelaide, and Southern Adelaide.
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.
Your first session focuses on understanding your goals, strengths and challenges. From there, we create a personalised plan that fits your everyday life.
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.
