CliniKids - Speech Pathology Perth

CliniKids offers evidence-based Paediatric Speech Therapy near you to support children’s speech, language and communication. 

If you're searching for expert Speech Pathology in Perth, our Subiaco and Joondalup clinics provide personalised, family-centred care tailored to your child's needs in these areas:

• Social communication and play
  Our Paediatric Speech Therapy team near you support children to learn skills to build strong relationships with important people in their life. We also support families to understand their child’s communication preferences, style and needs. This may include support with sharing attention, play, advocating for themselves, conversation, and other friendship skills.
• Language skills
  We support children in understanding, acquiring, and using language as part of our Speech Pathology services in Perth, helping them make sense of the world around them and clearly express their thoughts and ideas.
• Total Communication Approach and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
  Some children prefer using a total communication approach. In addition to supporting verbal communication, our Paediatric Speech Therapists encourage the use of multi modal strategies such as use of pictures, gesture, and body language. We also use specialist knowledge to assess, prescribe and support children to use aided (e.g. speech generating devices or picture systems) and unaided forms of AAC (e.g. signing).
• Speech sound skills
  A child’s speech sound skills affect how they are understood by others. Our Speech Pathologists in Perth work directly with your child to improve your child’s ability to produce and combine speech sounds so they can clearly communicate with others. To have the best outcomes a child generally needs to be motivated to work on this type of goal. It may be appropriate to support foundation communication skills before specific sounds.
• Mealtimes
  Eating, drinking and mealtimes are an important part of your child’s daily routine and can influenced by many factors. We work in a multidisciplinary family-centred way to support your child to have more enjoyable, independent, and safe mealtime routines as part of our Paediatric Speech Therapy approach.
• Understanding an autism diagnosis
  Our Speech Pathologists near you can support you and your child to learn more about their autistic identity, neurodiversity and how to advocate for their communication preferences. This is a key element of our speech pathology Perth offering as it is essential for many children and has positive benefits for wellbeing.

Our Speech Pathologists near you also deliver:

• Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT)
  PACT is an evidence-based program that works in partnership with caregivers of children with social-communication delays (primarily autistic children) to support their social communication skills using Paediatric Speech Therapy techniques. At CliniKids, PACT is available to children aged 18 months to 8 years experiencing social communication challenges.
