Moyne Speech Pathologist

Speech Clinic Moyne supports children with speech therapy across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Moyne location. We strongly advocate for early intervention. It’s critically important to recognise signs of potential speech, language, literacy or social difficulties, as this helps us to reduce future impacts on social and academic success.

They’ll grow out of it, right?
We are often asked, “when is the best age to start speech therapy?”. As soon as possible is always best. Speech Therapists can provide treatment and complete assessments to kids from 16 months to 18 years old. There is strong evidence supporting early intervention. When a speech therapist can support a child from birth until 4-5 years old, they can reduce the long-term impacts of a communication or language disorder. This gives our children the best chance to be ready for school. Sometimes speech, language, literacy, fluency and social interaction difficulties can become noticeable throughout a child’s schooling years. We also love to support school-aged children and adolescents to reach their academic and social potential.
