If you are concerned about your child's speech and language development or ability to communicate with others, a good place to start is with your child's teacher or a developmental paediatrician.

What can I expect at the initial consultation?
The Island Therapy Collective provides assessment and therapy that is tailored to the unique needs of each student.

The scope and duration of therapy will also be discussed with your experienced Speech and Language Therapist during the initial consultation.
 
 
Can parents attend the sessions too?
Yes, you are invited to attend therapy sessions with your child. We believe in empowering and collaborating with parents. By bringing our service to your home or your child's school, we aim to share our knowledge and discuss the intervention goals that can help to address your child's needs. We can also show parents and teachers how they can support the student in practising these skills outside of therapy, within their homes and schools.
