Speech pathology for Brisbane by telehealth
Speech Sprout is based on the Gold Coast and sees Brisbane families online. Sessions take place over Zoom. Telehealth may suit families who want support from home or live outside the Gold Coast. It is not the right format for every person or goal, so use the free 15-minute call to talk about your situation and whether the service fits.
The practice is NDIS registered and works with participants who have agency-managed, plan-managed or self-managed funding. Whether a particular support can use NDIS funding depends on the participant's plan and circumstances. Read how Speech Sprout works with NDIS plans and check your plan before booking funded sessions.
What support is available?
Speech Sprout offers these services by telehealth:
- Speech and language support for children, including speech sounds and understanding or using language.
- Autism support that respects each person's communication and preferences.
- AAC support for people who use or are exploring communication systems.
- Gestalt language support for people who communicate with scripts and chunks of language.
- Parent coaching for caregivers who want to discuss communication without their child attending.
- School and NDIS support for participants and their education teams.
Each service has a different focus. The services page has more detail. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you need on the call and discuss whether telehealth is suitable.
What to expect from an online session
Sessions take place over Zoom. Depending on the person's goals, they may include shared books, conversation, play or AAC modelling. A parent or support person can join when it helps. Prepare a laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection and a comfortable space. Familiar toys, books or fidgets can be useful for children.
Read the telehealth guide for more about the online setup. If you are looking for an in-person appointment, see the Gold Coast practice.
How to check NDIS funding
The NDIS says participants must use registered providers for agency-managed supports. For most other supports, people with self-managed or plan-managed funding can choose registered or unregistered providers. Funding must also match the participant's plan. Check the current NDIS provider guidance, then ask Speech Sprout about your support before booking.
A free 15-minute call is the next step. You can ask about service fit, funding, fees and current availability before deciding whether to book.
