Bright Speech Pathology offers mobile Speech Pathology services within the environment in which the child needs support. This includes home, school, childcares and out in the community. Intervention will target support the child and the family’s goals regarding speech sounds, expressive and receptive language, communication, literacy, social skills and to some degree behaviour management and emotional regulation. We believe that intervention needs to be evidence-based, creative, fun and practical; incorporating bright ideas for bright children.
About us
Literacy can involve letter-sound correspondences, early literacy skills, spelling, reading and writing.
It is important for children to be supported to appropriately express their emotions, respond to them and regulate them. For many parents, simply receiving strategies and support can make a big difference.
Play skills, turn-taking, sharing, conversation skills, appropriate social behaviours and developing friendships are important for a child to navigate interactions with people around them.
Children with limited verbal communication can greatly benefit from additional methods of communication such as Key Word Sign, pictures and specialised communication devices.
Speech sound disorders involve difficulties clearly producing speech sounds. This can impact a child's ability to clearly talk and effectively express themselves with others.
Receptive and expressive language involves producing and understanding the meaning of words, concepts, sentences and grammar; in spoken and written form.

Therapy and support is delivered in the environment that your child most needs it. Sessions can be conducted at your child's home, school or childcare. These may involve play-based approaches, structured activities and/or supporting your child during their normal routine.

It is important we understand your child well to help in the best way possible! This will involve collecting information on your child's past and current development and skills including discussing background history and/or conducting an assessment.
