At Inner West Paediatrics, our speech pathologists support children from preschoolers to teens to develop their communication, language, and social interaction skills. Some children just need a little extra help to keep up with learning or friendships, while others may have developmental delays, disabilities, or be neurodivergent. Whatever your child’s needs, we’re here to help.
Our experienced team works with children and adolescents with a wide range of communication profiles and diagnoses, including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, social-emotional differences, trauma, and behavioural differences.
We focus on each child’s strengths and goals – helping them build skills for learning, friendships, and everyday communication so they can participate fully at home, at school, and in the community.

FAQs
What happens during a therapy session?
Each therapy session is different and tailored to your child’s individual needs. Your therapist will first speak with you or the important people in the child’s life to discuss their priorities, strengths and support needs. Based on this information, a tailored plan will be developed which may include standardised and non-standardised assessment, observations across natural settings, collaborating with other professionals already involved with the child and all will be summarised in a report with recommendations provided.
Following this assessment process, the therapist and family will identify and document goals that are meaningful to them, and will guide therapy.
