Interact Speech Pathology

Interact Speech Pathology Interact Speech Pathology provides a quality speech pathology service to children and adolescents in the Geelong, Surfcoast and Bellarine area.

Skype consults are available upon request. *Building speech, language, literacy and social skills for kids*

Better communication starts with understanding where your child is at right now. At Interact Speech Pathology, we help kids build the skills to be understood, listen and learn with confidence. Grounded in evidence and delivered through play, our therapists support speech sound and language development, literacy skills, fluency and social 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. Ready to take the next step?

A message to educators: Term 1 is a powerful window.

New routines, new classrooms, and new communication demands can surface challenges for even the most confident kids.

Early in the year, you might notice students who are:

• trying hard to follow instructions but missing key information
• struggling to express their ideas clearly, orally or in writing
• finding social interactions or simple tasks more demanding than expected
• avoiding reading or writing tasks, or becoming easily fatigued by them
• having difficulty understanding what they’ve read, even when they know the words
• struggling to organise ideas into sentences or written responses

As speech pathologists who’ve worked with children for many years, we know Term 1 is a valuable time to pause, notice, and start gentle conversations about what you’re seeing – with families, or with us – around how a student is communcating and coping.

Comments like “They understand best when instructions are broken down” or “They have great ideas, but it’s hard to get them out” can open the door to early support and shared strategies to help your students feel understood, confident, and ready to learn.

Did you know we can provide communication training supports for your teaching team? Reach out for more information.

This image was taken at our Malop Street clinic when Caitlin’s daughter, Matilda, was just 3 years old 💛

Today, Matilda is 11 – and we’re now in our sixth shared clinic, alongside our friends at Think Psychologists

We’re so grateful for how far we’ve come.

Thank you to all the families who have trusted us, grown with us, and allowed us to be part of your child’s journey over the years. We couldn’t do this work without you.

Wishing you and your beautiful children a very Merry Christmas 🎄✨

You might have been told that offering choices helps children feel in control. “Do you want the red shirt or the blue one?” or “Homework now or after lunch?”

Sometimes this works really well. But at the end of a long school year, even small choices can feel like pressure. When children are tired or dysregulated, thinking through options can be just one more demand on their already-full plate.

That’s where low-demand language helps. Instead of giving forced choices, try softening your words with gentle curiosity or observation.

Here are a few ways to reframe:

💬 “I noticed you like the blue t-shirt. I'll help you put it on.”
💬 “I’m wondering if music might make this job a bit more fun.”
💬 “I’ll be at the table with your book. It’s fun to read books together.”
💬 “I’ll start running the bath — it’s nice when the water’s warm.”
💬 “I’ll sit right here while you finish. We can go together when you’re ready.”

These phrases open space for connection without expectation. Less pressure and more connection helps kids feel safe, seen and calm.

We went early this year for our Christmas dinner to celebrate these beautiful women and another HUGE year. A year of having Liv and Nicole (admin) join our team, searching for over 12 months for a new clinic space, then moving the clinic, navigating the quicksand that is NDIS and supporting children and families in developing communication skills. Photo 1: the interact team (minus Nicole) and photo 2: our team with the incredible crew from (minus Laura, Paige and Shae). There were sparkles (our theme), laughs and lovely food. What a fabulous team of dedicated, caring and impressive women!
