Who we help
We work with children from toddlers through to secondary school, including Glen Waverley families whose children attend local primary schools, kinders and childcare centres. Common reasons families come to us:
- Late talking: a toddler who isn't yet using words or putting words together
- Unclear speech: sounds that are hard for others to understand
- Language difficulties: following instructions, telling stories, understanding what's said
- Literacy: reading and spelling support
- Stuttering
- Autism and neurodivergent children, including AAC (communication devices and systems)
- Infant and child feeding
Mandarin-speaking families welcome
Our director, Livia Li, speaks fluent Mandarin and works directly with Mandarin-speaking families, so no interpreter is needed. Assessments and therapy can be done bilingually.
Our team
Our clinicians have special-education backgrounds and experience supporting autistic and neurodivergent children in school settings. Appointments are currently available Monday to Friday.
Funding
We are not NDIS-registered, so we welcome self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants as well as private clients. Medicare rebates may be available with a GP Chronic Disease Management plan, and private health extras may apply.
