Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need a referral for speech therapy?

No referral is required. You can contact WonderKids directly to book a speech therapy assessment. However, we welcome referrals from paediatricians, teachers, and other professionals if available.

At what age should I seek a speech therapy assessment?

If you have any concerns about your child's speech or language development, it is best to seek an assessment as early as possible. Early intervention leads to the best outcomes. We work with children from infancy onwards.

How long are speech therapy sessions?

Speech therapy sessions typically last 45 minutes to 1 hour. Assessment sessions may take longer depending on the areas being evaluated.

How often will my child need speech therapy?

Session frequency depends on your child's individual needs and goals. Most children attend weekly sessions, though this may vary from fortnightly to more intensive schedules as recommended by the therapist.

Will you give us activities to practise at home?

Yes, home practice is an important part of speech therapy. We provide parents with strategies and activities to reinforce skills between sessions, helping to maximise progress.
