Supporting Your Child’s Speech & Language Development
Speech Assessment
We provide Redfern children with thorough, child-friendly speech assessments that accurately identify their communication profile. Our findings give families a clear, complete picture and a precise plan for effective therapy.
We support Redfern families dealing with fussy eating through a calm, evidence-based feeding therapy programme that addresses the sensory and behavioural roots of food refusal and builds positive associations with mealtimes.
We deliver specialist communication therapy for Redfern children with autism and developmental delay, using respectful, individualised, evidence-based strategies that build functional language and real-world social participation.
We help Redfern children develop accurate, confident speech through structured and engaging articulation and lisp therapy that builds correct sound production and skills that carry over naturally into everyday conversation.
Our Redfern language sessions are designed around each child’s specific needs, targeting vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, and expressive language skills through activities that are purposeful and genuinely engaging.
We help Redfern children build the phonological awareness and spoken language foundations that reading and spelling depend on, using structured, evidence-based literacy programmes matched to each child’s current level.
Our Redfern fluency therapy is compassionate, practical, and evidence-based. We provide children and families with effective strategies that reduce the impact of stuttering and build confidence across all communication settings.
We guide Redfern families through identifying, setting up, and learning to use AAC systems effectively so that every child has a reliable, functional way to communicate and participate in learning and daily life.

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.
