Paediatric Speech Therapy Adelaide
Empowering children through speech clarity and confidence

Our speech services focus on helping children improve their clarity, confidence, and ability to connect with those around them. At SPOT Paediatrics, we work with children who face challenges with speech sound production, such as articulation delays, phonological processing disorders, and childhood apraxia of speech. Our goal is to support each child in achieving clearer speech, boosting their confidence in everyday communication.
Key challenges we can help with
Helping your child overcome speech challenges
Speech sound delays and disorders
We assist children with issues in sound production, which can range from articulation delays or disorders to more complex sound error patterns that affect their daily interactions.
Phonological processing disorders
Our team works with children to first identify their sound error patterns that are impacting how well they are understood, and then we help to reduce these error patterns resulting in clearer, more accurate speech sounds in communication.
Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS)
For children with CAS, we provide targeted, specialised support to help improve their ability to plan and produce speech sounds, using tailored approaches that suit their specific needs.
How SPOT Can help your child
Building communication skills for a brighter future
Increased clarity and understanding
As your child improves their speech sound production, they will be more easily understood by others, which can reduce frustration and encourage positive interactions.
Confidence in social settings
Improved speech clarity can help children feel more comfortable and confident in social situations, supporting them to build friendships and communicate successfully.
Early literacy support
Research shows that speech sound disorders may have a direct impact on literacy development. By addressing speech sound difficulties early, we also support foundational skills for reading and writing.
A supportive therapy environment
We work closely with families, involving parents in sessions and providing strategies for practice at home to reinforce progress.


Addressing your questions and concerns
“Will therapy really help?”
We provide regular progress updates and adapt our approach as needed to ensure therapy is effective and meaningful for your child.
“What if my child gets frustrated?”
Sessions are paced according to each child’s comfort, and we never push when a child is struggling. We adjust activities based on their energy, focus, and interest to make sessions enjoyable.
“How will I know what’s happening in therapy?”
We keep parents informed every step of the way, offering insights into each session, and strategies for home practice where helpful.
