Most parents don’t realise how simple clarity can be once you know what to look for.

Your child’s clarity, confidence and communication matter and small changes now make a huge difference.

This workshop will give you the exact tools to:

✔ understand your child’s speech sound development
✔ support clearer speech during everyday routines
✔ reduce frustration for both of you
✔ strengthen early literacy foundations
You’ll leave saying:

“Why didn’t someone tell me this earlier?”
✨ First 50 parents: FREE (including food, drinks + resource pack).

More on this event coming soon….

Something exciting is coming…
If you’ve ever wondered why some children struggle with speech sounds…
If you’ve questioned when to step in, what to focus on, and how to support clearer, more confident communication…
This one’s for you.

Our first community event for 2026 is nearly launching, and it’s designed for parents and educators who want practical, research-backed tools that make a real difference.

Stay tuned as more details are dropping soon.

We’re developing something exciting for 2026, a new parent course designed especially for families of toddlers.⁠
⁠
This program focuses on the foundations that matter most in the early years, connection, play, regulation, and communication.⁠
⁠
It’s built from evidence-based strategies we use every day in therapy, designed to empower parents to support communication through real-life routines and interactions.⁠
⁠
We can’t wait to share more soon as this project takes shape.

Recently, our leadership team met with an industry leader in creative project development and as a result, something pretty spectacular is in the works for 2026.

We’re developing an innovative program designed especially for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) combining evidence-based practice with creativity.

We can’t wait to share more soon. Stay tuned as exciting things are coming for our SMART Spot families.

18/10/2025

Behind every session, report, and strategy is a team of passionate speech pathologists dedicated to helping children thrive.

Our clinicians bring a wealth of experience and diverse expertise, from speech sound and language development, to literacy, regulation, and early intervention.

Together, we share a commitment to evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming practice and to supporting families, educators, and communities with excellence.

Working with flexibility

At SMART Spot, we make decisions guided by our values, excellence, trust, and collaboration.

As a team, we’ve been exploring what flexibility can look like in practice. When completing reports, assessment analysis, or planning, clinicians now have the option to work from home.

This approach reflects our belief that professional autonomy and trust create the best conditions for thoughtful, high-quality clinical work.

12/10/2025

Our team is always learning.

Mary has been diving deep into Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) to strengthen assessment and therapy tools for children with motor planning differences.

Emma has been exploring Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) — understanding how language difficulties impact learning and building evidence-based strategies to support the diagnostic process.

Grace is about to commence training in Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions approach, focusing on helping children through connection, collaboration, and problem-solving.

We’re proud to invest heavily in ongoing learning so every child receives the highest quality, research-backed care.

Supporting school transition - prepare early for school success⁠
⁠
Meet before school starts – A short planning meeting with teachers and therapists helps set supports in motion early.⁠
⁠
Share an “All About Me” page – Include strengths, interests, communication style, and what helps your child stay regulated.⁠
⁠
Have an ILP ready from day one – Post meeting, school to create clear goals and strategies mean your child’s needs are understood from the start.⁠
⁠
Check in early – Brief follow-ups help fine-tune supports as your child settles in.

My child’s speech isn’t clear. Should I wait and see, or get an assessment?”⁠
⁠
💭Answer:⁠
⁠
It’s common to wonder if unclear speech will “just sort itself out” as your child gets older. While some children do catch up naturally, others may benefit from early support to help them develop clear, confident communication skills.⁠
⁠
Speech clarity can be affected by many factors, from sound development and oral motor skills to hearing, attention, and sensory processing. A speech pathology assessment can help determine what’s typical for your child’s age and whether support would be helpful.⁠
⁠
Why early assessment matters:⁠
🚀Identifies whether your child’s speech development is on track⁠
✨️Highlights strengths and areas where support might be needed⁠
➡️Gives you strategies to use at home right away⁠
👉🏼Can prevent frustration and boost your child’s confidence⁠
⁠
⁠
💡Tip:💡 If you or others regularly have trouble understanding your child, or if they’re getting frustrated when trying to communicate, it’s a good idea to check in with a speech pathologist.

About Us

WORKING WITH FAMILIES

PERSON CENTRED | FLEXIBLE | RESPONSIVE

Our Speech Pathologists provide person centred, flexible and responsive services that value the important and essential role that families play in all aspects of their child's development.

Families are such a critical part of their child’s intervention so we encourage families to work in partnership with our Speech Pathologists to make key decisions about the goals and activities that their child works on to improve their communication skills.

Our Speech Pathologists place emphasis on paying careful attention to making sure that they understand each family's priorities and concerns when they are planning for intervention. A high degree of communication between the Speech Pathologist and the families ensures that planned interventions fit with the family’s needs, desires and priorities for their child.

Our Speech Pathologists work with families to help them learn how to develop meaningful learning opportunities within the home environment and to provide them with high quality teaching strategies to support speech, language and literacy development.

WORKING WITH SCHOOLS

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION | STUDENT SUCCESS | REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS

SMART Spot Speech Pathologists are committed to working in partnership with classroom teachers to develop the oral language competence of students and to facilitate the development of foundational literacy skills.

The ability to communicate effectively and demonstrate adequate speech, language and communication skills is a key foundation to learning and social skill development. Children’s communication abilities strongly predict their later reading skills, with a significantly increased chance of reading problems for children with poor language skills.

Our Speech Pathologists work closely with the classroom teachers to promote and develop key areas of children’s language and literacy development such as vocabulary, comprehension, sentence structure, grammar, concepts and following directions, answering questions, text structure and organisation, punctuation, phonemic awareness and speech sounds.

To develop these skills in a sustainable way for schools, our Speech Pathologists practice within the Response to Intervention framework. This framework integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximise student achievement. Practising within this framework allows our Speech Pathologists to contribute to the school community in a diverse variety of ways, with less focus on traditional service delivery models and an increased focus on collaboration, shared workplace learning and inclusion.
