Speech Pathology – Review

Every child and adult progresses at their own pace, so the length of speech pathology treatment depends on their goals, strengths, and the type of support they need. At Kirinari, our paediatric speech pathology and adult services team regularly reviews progress to ensure therapy stays meaningful, achievable, and supportive.

We’ll walk with you each step of the way, adjusting your speech pathology services so they continue to help your child or loved one grow with confidence. If you’d like to talk through what therapy might look like for your family, feel free to contact us at hello@kirinari.com.au or 1300 547 462.

People of all ages can benefit from speech pathology services, especially if communication or swallowing becomes difficult. Some signs include:

Children:

• Limited vocabulary or trouble expressing needs
• Difficulty playing, engaging, or interacting with others
• Challenges with forming sentences
• Speech that is unclear or hard to understand
• Trouble following instructions
• Stuttering or disruptions in fluency
• Difficulty socialising or reading emotions
• Communication challenges linked to developmental delays, autism, ADHD, or sensory differences

Adults:

• Trouble finding words or forming clear sentences
• Changes in voice, speech clarity, or fluency
• Difficulties swallowing food or drinks
• Communication challenges after a stroke, injury, or neurological condition
• Difficulty keeping up with conversations

If you’re noticing signs like these, our caring team in Albury-Wodonga can help you understand the next steps. Reach out at 1300 547 462 or hello@kirinari.com.au for guidance.

Speech therapy is designed to be supportive, engaging, and built around your goals. Here’s a simple overview of what you can expect:

• Assessment: We start by getting to know you or your child’s communication strengths and challenges.
• Planning: Your speech pathologist creates a personalised therapy plan based on what matters most to you.
• Therapy Sessions: Sessions may involve play-based activities for children or tailored communication exercises for adults.
• Home Support: We’ll give you simple, practical strategies you can use at home.
• Review: Progress is checked regularly, so therapy continues to feel helpful and relevant.

Our team offers speech pathology for children, adults, and families using both in-person and telehealth options.
