People with a disability are eligible for speech pathology services through the NDIS.\u00a0Speech Pathologists work on a capacity-building model, which means they provide weekly therapy sessions. They will typically use a variety of strategies to help you achieve your communication goals, including: the Hanen approach.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Communication is an essential skill for life, and one that many people take for granted until they struggle with it. In fact, poor communication can be a sign of mental health challenges and often contributes to relationship issues.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the NDIS<\/strong><\/a> has revolutionised access to allied healthcare services, including speech pathology. Whether your child stutters, has trouble pronouncing words or is struggling with language development or swallowing difficulties, an NDIS registered speech pathologist can help unlock their communication potential.<\/p>\n A qualified NDIS speech pathologist will spend time getting to know your child and the challenges they face. They\u2019ll then create a treatment plan designed to address their needs. This will include strategies to improve their verbal and non-verbal communication, as well as ways to build their confidence in social situations.<\/p>\n Speech pathologists also work closely with carers to develop skills that will allow them to support their child\u2019s communication development. This is known as capacity building and can involve training parents, family friends, care workers or other community members to nurture their child\u2019s communication skills.<\/p>\n Having your child\u2019s NDIS funding allocated to speech pathology is all about investing in their future. A good NDIS speech pathologist understands that progress takes time and is committed to working with you over the long term. This is why they will regularly reassess your child\u2019s progress and make adjustments to their treatment plan if necessary.<\/p>\n NDIS Speech Pathologist Cairns<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>understand how children develop their communication skills and how this can be impacted by various issues. They will use their knowledge and expertise to create a treatment plan that is unique to your child\u2019s needs, goals, and challenges. They will also work with other professionals to ensure the most effective and efficient services are provided.<\/p>\n Speech therapy typically involves regular sessions over a long-term period to build your child\u2019s skills and help them become more confident. These sessions can be conducted in their own home, at the clinic, or in a group therapy setting. You and your child will decide how often they will attend their\u00a0therapy\u00a0sessions based on their needs and what will make the most difference for them.<\/p>\nCreating a Treatment Plan<\/h2>\n
