Your first session

What to expect
at your first session.

No mystery, no sales calls. Here's the whole sequence from "I'm curious" to "we've had our first session" — written by the person you'll actually be talking to.

01

Free 15-minute call

It's on Zoom, no commitment. The only goal is for me to listen — to what's happening, what you've tried, what's working, what isn't, and what you're hoping for. If we're not a good fit, I'll tell you, and I'll try to point you toward someone who is.

02

You decide if we book

No pressure on the call. If you'd like to go ahead I'll send a short intake form (background, what funding you have, anything I should know about sensory or regulation) and we can discuss available session times.

03

First session — mostly conversation

The first 45 minutes is mostly me and you talking, while your kid plays or stims or hides under the table — all of which is fine. I'm watching, listening, and following their lead. No assessments, no testing, no demands. By the end of the session we'll have a working sense of where to start.

04

A short plan, in plain language

If you decide to continue, we can agree on next steps and discuss how support could fit your goals and routines.

05

Ongoing — small, sustainable, real

Sessions are 45 minutes. No minimum contract, no upfront block — we run on what is actually useful, week to week. We reassess together every few months. If something stops being helpful, we change it.

FAQ

Things people actually ask.

The Royal Children's Hospital suggests bringing usual communication supports. A Western Sydney Local Health District service profile asks families to note previous reports, if any. These are suggestions, not Speech Sprout requirements.

Ready when you are.

The free 15-minute call is a chance to discuss whether Speech Sprout is a fit.
