Therapy Process
Pre-Therapy Prior to commencing speech therapy at Therapy Point, all individuals must attend or show proof of a formal speech-language assessment within the last twelve months. This is so our Speech Pathologists can determine exactly the individual’s strengths and areas of need area, as well as a baseline to demonstrate improvement. If you have a previous speech pathology assessment report from within the last 12 months, please email it to us (info@therapypoint.com.au) and we will let you know how we can proceed. Therapy After completing a formal speech-language assessment with our therapists or providing us with an appropriate assessment report from another service, the individual may be offered a block of therapy to develop their specific areas of need. These sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes and can take place weekly, fortnightly, or more/less frequently depending on the individual’s needs and the therapist’s recommendations. Therapy sessions can also be conducted via telehealth or face-to-face, and they can take place in a variety of settings, including the clinic, the individual’s home, and/or preschool or school. At Therapy Point, we believe that positive, fun, and meaningful therapy sessions, supplemented by consistent daily home practice, produce the best results. As a result, our speech pathologists customise all therapy sessions to each individual’s needs and provide them and their family members with activities for home practice at the end of each session to supplement their learning and help them achieve the best results. We prefer to assist individuals in a positive, fun, and family-centred manner, so we actively encourage family members to participate in the therapy process as much as possible
