Speech therapy for children

We offer a range of speech therapy services for children aged 0 to 6 years.

Speech therapy can help with the speech and language development of your baby or child. If your child is aged 6+ years and needs speech therapy, please contact us to find out the best pathway for accessing treatment.

Service details

cohealth’s speech therapy for children offers support and advice around any issues your child may be experiencing with their speech:

  • understanding or using language
  • not babbling different sounds at 12 months
  • not saying any single words by 18 months of age
  • not saying up to 2 words together by 2.5 years of age
  • their speech is difficult to understand at 3 years of age
  • not ordering words in sentences correctly
  • fluency (stuttering)
  • voice problems

We work with children one-on-one sessions, group activities with other children and through visits to childcare centres or kindergartens as needed.

We also educate parents and/or teachers, empowering them to provide ongoing support for children.
