How NDIS Speech Pathology Delivers More

As a registered NDIS therapy provider, our NDIS speech pathology and speech therapy services help children and adults with communication and swallowing challenges.

Our speech pathologists work with you where you live, learn, work, and play. This helps you build skills in real life settings and growth your confidence in everyday situations.

Our speech therapists work as part of a broader therapy team that may include occupational therapists, physiotherapists, positive behaviour practitioners, and habit coaches. Together, your team looks at your whole life to help you reach your goals and make lasting positive changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a speech pathologist do?

A speech pathologist helps children and adults with talking, understanding language, reading, writing, social communication, and safe eating and swallowing. They work with you to build skills that make everyday life easier and improve your quality of life.

Who can see a speech pathologist at Everyday Independence?

Our speech pathology services support children and adults with disabilities to build their communication skills, confidence, and independence. From helping young children with developmental delays to supporting adults with lifelong or acquired conditions, we tailor therapy to each person’s goals and everyday life.

How is Everyday Independence speech therapy different?

What makes us different is our whole-life, team-based approach to therapy. You’ll be supported by a team of practitioners with diverse training and life experiences who work together to help you achieve lasting positive change. We come to you in your own community – where you live, work, learn, and play. Because that’s where real progress happens and we can help shift attitudes that may be holding you back. Between sessions, our Habit Coaches help you practise new routines and skills, providing cost-effective support that accelerates your outcomes and builds confidence in everyday life.

Can children under nine get speech therapy?

Yes. If your child is under nine years old and has a developmental delay or disability, and has NDIS funding, they can access speech therapy through our Early Childhood Supports (ECS).

Our key workers help young children build skills in talking, understanding words, making friends, and eating or swallowing safely. Your child’s Key Worker will include a speech pathologist in their therapy team if it’s right for their goals.

Therapy happens in everyday places. At home, kindergarten, or in the community, so your child can learn and practise new skills where they use them most.

What is a neurodiversity-affirming approach?

It means we respect and celebrate the different ways people think, communicate, and learn. We focus on supporting strengths and building confidence, not changing who you are.
