Speech Pathology for Kids in Perth
BlueRocket provides Speech Pathology services to NDIS and privately paying children and families across the Perth Metro area
How our Speech Pathology services for kids work
Communication is essential for learning, connection and participation. At BlueRocket, our Speech Pathology services support children in building speech, language, and early communication skills so they can better understand others and express themselves.
Our team works with children across a range of areas, including sound development, language skills, early literacy, social communication and fluency, and mealtime management. Therapy is evidence-based and tailored to each child’s needs, taking place either at our Lathlain Clinic, at home, at school or via telehealth.
We focus on practical communication skills that children can use in everyday life, supporting confidence, independence and meaningful participation at home, in education and in the community.
What's included in our Speech Pathology services for kids
BlueRocket Speech Pathology services help build essential communication skills for everyday life, making it easier to connect, learn and participate meaningfully. We support children across a range of communication areas, including:
- Speech sound development - e.g. producing sounds more clearly and improving speech intelligibility.
- Language skills - e.g. understanding instructions and building vocabulary and sentence structure.
- Social communication - e.g. taking turns in conversation, reading social cues and interacting with peers.
- Early literacy skills - e.g. supporting pre-reading skills, phonological awareness and language foundations for school readiness.
- AAC Assessments and support - e.g. introducing communication systems such as visuals, signs or speech devices for children with complex communication needs.
- Mealtime and Dysphagia support - e.g. assessment and strategies to support safe swallowing and mealtime participation.
Steps Involved
At BlueRocket, our paediatric Speech Pathology services take a holistic, family-centred approach to support your child’s communication, confidence and participation in everyday life.
Initial assessment & goal setting
We begin by exploring your child’s strengths, challenges, and what matters most to your family. Together, we develop a goals-focused therapy plan tailored to your child’s communication needs, priorities and daily needs.
Personalised, evidence-based therapy
Your child’s therapy sessions focus on building practical communication skills in real-life settings and may include:
- Speech sound development and clarity
- Language skills, including understanding and expression
- Social communication and interaction skills
- Early literacy and school readiness skills
- AAC assessments and support where necessary
Specialised, multi-disciplinary supports
We collaborate seamlessly with Occupational Therapists to meet your needs with a holistic approach. We also incorporate specialised services like Augmentative and Alternative Communication Assessments and Mealtimes and Dysphagia support when appropriate.
Collaborative & adaptive plans
We regularly review therapy plans to track progress and adjust support as your child’s goals evolve. This keeps therapy relevant, meaningful, and effective while ensuring families feel informed and supported throughout their child’s journey.
Where We Support
- We provide mobile and home visits, bringing Speech Pathology therapy into your child’s home environment to support communication in real-life, everyday settings.
- We offer in-school support, working alongside teachers to help your child develop and use speech, language and social communication skills in the classroom, during activities and in peer interactions.
