At Kids and Cubs Clinic, we know that no two children communicate the same way, and no two therapy journeys look alike. For families in Rozelle, we offer a personalised, evidence-based approach to paediatric speech pathology that meets your child exactly where they are. Our clinicians combine professional expertise with genuine care, creating a space where Rozelle children feel confident to try, learn, and grow. Whether your child needs support with speech sounds, language development, literacy, or feeding, we have the experience to help.

Supporting Your Child’s Speech & Language Development
Speech Assessment
Our Rozelle speech assessments are thorough, relaxed, and always child-centred. We take the time to build rapport with your child before we begin, so the results reflect their true abilities and help us create the right plan.
We help Rozelle children develop a more relaxed and varied relationship with food. Our feeding therapy is unhurried and supportive, helping families move towards mealtimes that feel positive and stress-free.
We support Rozelle children with autism spectrum disorder and developmental delay through targeted, respectful therapy that prioritises functional communication skills and connection with family and peers.
Our Rozelle articulation and lisp therapy uses fun, structured activities to help children learn exactly how to produce sounds correctly. We build accuracy gradually so your child grows in confidence with every session.
For Rozelle children who find language tricky, we design sessions around building the vocabulary and sentence structure skills needed to understand others and express themselves with growing ease.
We help Rozelle children connect spoken language to the written word. Our literacy support targets phonological awareness and decoding skills to set children up for reading and spelling success at school.
Our fluency therapy for Rozelle children combines practical speaking strategies with confidence-building so children feel less defined by their stutter and more empowered in their everyday communication.
We help Rozelle families explore and implement alternative and augmentative communication systems that give non-verbal or minimally verbal children a powerful, reliable means of self-expression.

It is a pleasure to leave a review for Lucy.
Lucy has worked with our daughter over a period of around 12 months. We have seen huge improvements with our daughter's lisp, confidence, and pronounication of tricky speech clusters.
From my perspective as a parent, the warm, engaging, and nurturing clinic, and Lucy's bubbly and positive personality has meant the world to us. Even when our daughter has really struggled, Lucy always took a strength based approach and made us feel safe and that everything would be 'okay'. My daughter adores Lucy because she made all learning fun and playful.
We have worked with many allied health professionals over the years, and no one has come close to how caring, kind, and skilled Lucy is.
Thank you. <3

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Samantha. She has been incredibly patient, kind, and professional throughout our sessions. Our daughter has made noticeable progress in her speech and confidence, and we couldn’t be more grateful!
The sessions are always well-structured, engaging, and tailored to suit my daughter’s needs. Samantha creates such a warm and supportive environment that my daughter looks forward to every visit.
Highly recommend to any families looking for a skilled and compassionate speech therapist!

Samantha is very knowledgeable, professional, kind, patient and very supportive. I’ve been seeing her for past 2 years for my son who’s been diagnosed with CAS (childhood apraxia of speech) and she’s outstanding speech therapist. She’s so dedicated and is able to get so much from my son as he loves her sessions so much.
You would not find a better and more supportive speech pathologist. Highly recommend her.

I am so thankful to have been told about it Sam when the clinic first opened. Sam is very passionate about what she does and takes her business seriously. She is always open to communication with parents about different approaches and has also been a support to me personally as a parent. Thank you, Sam, and happy first birthday!

Samantha has been incredibly supportive of both my girls who are 2 and 3 who had a speech delay and concerns around development. She is honest, helpful, kind, warm and has great skills particularly with kids that have behavioural concerns. I would highly recommend her services. She has a world of knowledge of multidisciplinary teams and is able to suggest best steps to access support and which support would benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does child speech therapy cost in Rozelle?
Assessment fees for Rozelle families typically range from $380 to $680 depending on your child’s age and the type of assessment required. Please contact our clinic for current therapy session rates and funding options.
What age should a child go to speech therapy?
Children can start therapy at any age between 0 and 16 years. Early intervention consistently delivers the best outcomes, though children at any stage can make meaningful progress with the right support.
