Interact Speech Pathology

Interact Speech Pathology Better communication starts with understanding where your child is right now. Ready to take the next step?

At Interact Speech Pathology, we help kids build the skills to be understood, listen and learn with confidence. *Building speech, language, literacy and social skills for kids*

Better communication starts with understanding where your child is at right now. Grounded in evidence and delivered through play, our therapists support speech sound and language development, literacy skills, fluency and s

ocial communication. Because every child is different, we start by getting the full picture – what comes easily, what’s more challenging and what you hope to achieve. From there, we plan the next steps together to help your child engage confidently with their world. Our experienced team offers neuro-affirming, strengths-based care that fits your child’s needs and connection style. We partner with families and educators to set realistic goals, track progress and share simple at-home activities after each session. Register your child online at www.interactspeechpathology.com.au

Not every child needs a diagnosis to access support.

More Than Words® is a Hanen parent coaching program designed for families of young children, with or without an autism diagnosis, who find it challenging to connect and communicate.

The program teaches you practical, everyday strategies to support your child’s communication during real-life moments – like playtime, mealtime, bath time or getting dressed.

Delivered by our Hanen Certified Speech Pathologist, Tasman Day, the program helps you build communication in ways that feel low-pressure, meaningful and enjoyable for everyone.

If you’ve noticed your child finding communication tricky, that’s enough to start.

Does your child have trouble with their storytelling? Maybe their stories are lengthy and hard to follow, or they mix up the order of events and forget to include key details.

In the TalkAbility™ program, we teach parents strategies they can use in everyday moments to help their children share ideas and build stronger storytelling skills for the future.

Term 2 orientation sessions begin in the April 2026 school break, and spots are limited to keep groups small and personalised.

Registrations close this Friday, the 20th of March – or earlier if places are filled.

If you’re not sure what support your child needs, let’s start with an assessment. This helps to paint the picture of what comes easily, what’s more challenging and what you’re hoping to achieve – so we can create a clear, actionable therapy plan together.

From toddlers to teens, we offer neuroaffirming, strengths-based care that helps families understand where they’re at today, and what to do next.

TalkAbility™ is a parent education program for families of pre-school and early primary school-aged children who are speaking in sentences but find social communication challenging.

If friendships, group work, or social situations are tricky for your child at times, Talkability™ may be a supportive next step.

From taking turns talking, to understanding others, maintaining friendships, and having meaningful back-and-forth conversations – the program supports children to grow in confidence and connection.

In this short video, Holly, our Hanen Certified TalkAbility™ Speech Pathologist, explains:

• Who TalkAbility™ is for
• What skills children can learn
• How these skills support friendships, school participation, and everyday interactions

Term 2 orientation sessions begin in the April 2026 Victorian school break. Spots are limited to keep groups small and personalised.

Registrations close Friday 20th of March – or earlier if places are filled.

Sometimes it’s not the language we use but how it lands.

Communication is more than what we say. The timing, tone, and how much we say can all matter. Even warmth, praise, or friendly questions can sometimes feel like pressure when a child’s nervous system is already stretched tight.

In our blog, co-authored with Dr Nicole Carvill from Think Psychologists , we explore:

• Why everyday language can feel like a demand
• How anxiety and nervous system load shape behaviour
• Practical examples of low-demand language you can try

If mornings, transitions, or simple requests often escalate, this one is for you.

From curious toddlers to growing teens, we support families to understand and strengthen their child’s communication.

Because every child is different, we like to start with an assessment – building a full picture of what comes easily, what’s more challenging, and what you hope to achieve.

We offer:
• Pragmatic/social language assessments to inform autism assessments and support diagnosis
• Academic language assessments, including the CELF-5 and CELF Preschool-3
• Articulation assessments
• Literacy screeners
• Fluency assessments

From there, we plan supports together so that friends, family and educators can work toward a shared goal.
