How We Work
At Each Speech Pear Plum, our process is simple and supportive, guiding you from your first enquiry through to your child's progress reviews. We’re here to help every step of the way, making sure your child’s therapy is tailored, fun, and effective!
Enquire Now or Give Us a Call
The first step is reaching out! You can either fill out our enquiry form online or give us a quick call – hot tip, our phones are often unmanned as we’re busy seeing kids and their families, promise we aren’t ignoring you! During this chat, we’ll discuss your concerns, answer any questions, and help you figure out if speech therapy is the right fit for your child. This is a great time to share any details about your child’s communication, behaviour, or development that you’re wondering about.
Initial Appointment
Next, we’ll schedule your child’s first appointment. This is an assessment session where we’ll take a close look at your child’s communication skills. We might use play-based activities, games, or conversations (depending on their age) to understand how they’re doing. Don’t worry, it’s a relaxed and fun session, designed to help us get a clear picture of where your child is at.
During this appointment, we’ll confirm whether a more formal assessment is needed based on what we observe, so you’ll know exactly what the next steps are.
Comprehensive or Summary Report
After the initial appointment, we’ll provide you with a report summarising our findings.
If further assessment is necessary, we’ll provide a Comprehensive Report upon completion of all assessment tasks. This report offers detailed insights for sharing with schools or other professionals.
Should a formal, in depth assessment not be required, we can provide a Summary Report for a quick snapshot of key observations and recommendations. This report will guide us as we move forward.
Speech Therapy Sessions
If therapy is recommended, we’ll set up regular sessions at an agreed location (clinic/mobile/tele) tailored to your child’s unique needs and goals. These sessions are designed to be fun and engaging, focusing on areas like speech, language development, or social communication. Your child will make progress at their own pace, and we’ll keep you in the loop along the way.
Progress Review & Future Planning
We’ll review your child’s progress periodically, usually at the end of each school term, to ensure they’re meeting their goals. This is a great time to celebrate how far they’ve come and adjust the therapy plan if needed. Together, we’ll decide whether to continue therapy, take a break, or plan for discharge when your child reaches their milestones.
What Makes Us Shine?
At Each Speech Pear Plum, therapy is as fun as it is effective! We focus on play-based and child-led therapy because we know that kids learn best when they’re having a blast and in control of their own progress. When therapy feels like play and follows your child’s lead, they’re relaxed, engaged, and ready to grow. Plus, research shows this approach leads to even better results!
We’re also big believers in evidence-based practice, so every strategy we use is backed by research. Whether your child needs support with speech sounds, language, or social communication, we’ve got the research and tools to make it happen.
We’re flexible! Here’s how we cater to your family’s needs:
Face-to-Face Therapy
Our indoor/outdoor clinic offers a calm, playful environment that’s also a home-based space—cozy, comforting, and perfect for helping kids feel at ease.
Mobile Therapy
We bring the therapy to
you with our mobile therapy service, making home, kindy, or school sessions a breeze!
Tele-Therapy
Our tele-therapy option lets your child work with a therapist from the comfort of home, making it as easy as logging in for a virtual play session.
But that’s not all—we’re family-focused too! We believe that parents and caregivers are key players in the therapy process. We work closely with you to create goals that fit your family’s needs and keep you involved every step of the way.
With us, it’s all about combining fun, flexibility, and family to create the best therapy experience possible. Whether at our place, your place, or virtually, we’re here to help your child shine. Let’s make therapy an exciting, family-centred adventure!
