Supporting Your Child’s Speech & Language Development
Speech Assessment
Our Burwood speech assessments are child-friendly, comprehensive, and conducted in a relaxed manner that allows children to show their true abilities. Assessment findings directly inform a precise, personalised therapy plan.
We support Burwood families navigating fussy eating through a calm, structured feeding therapy programme that respects your child’s sensory experience and gradually expands their diet in a positive and pressure-free way.
We provide specialist communication therapy for Burwood children with autism and developmental delay, using individualised, evidence-based strategies to build functional language, social skills, and everyday independence.
We help Burwood children develop clear, accurate speech through targeted articulation and lisp therapy. Our sessions are engaging and well-structured, building correct sound production in a way that generalises to real life.
Our Burwood language sessions address the full range of receptive and expressive language difficulties, building vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills that allow children to participate more fully in school and social life.
We support Burwood children in developing the phonological awareness and spoken language foundations that strong literacy depends on, using evidence-based programmes that are matched to each child’s current level and learning style.
Our Burwood fluency therapy is evidence-based, compassionate, and practical. We equip children and families with strategies that reduce the impact of stuttering and help children speak with greater ease and confidence.
We assist Burwood families in identifying, setting up, and learning to use AAC systems that give children a functional and reliable way to communicate, supporting their participation 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.
