We collaborate with the rooms your communicator can’t always speak in for themselves — schools, NDIS planners, paediatricians. Reports are written in plain language with the goal of more for your kid, not less. We attend IEP meetings, observe in classrooms, and time reviews to your funding cycle.
NDIS reports — written for the planner who’ll actually read them
Most NDIS reports get skimmed. The ones that lead to better plans are the ones that anchor every recommendation to a clear functional goal and a named support category. We write yours to do exactly that.
We can produce:
- Initial assessment reports for new participants seeking speech pathology funding
- Progress and review reports timed to your plan reassessment date
- AAC assessment and trial reports for device funding (Assistive Technology)
- Functional capacity input for related goals like education, social and community participation
- Letters of support for specific requests — increased therapy hours, equipment, capacity building
Every report is written in plain language with the participant’s voice and the family’s priorities front and centre. We avoid deficit framing where possible. Where clinical justification requires it, we name what’s hard, but we don’t dress up the participant’s identity as a problem to be solved.
Working with schools
Communication doesn’t live in a clinic room — it lives in the classroom, the canteen line, the playground negotiation, the school office. We support communicators in the school context through:
- Classroom observations (in person on the Gold Coast, or via Zoom + teacher liaison)
- Teacher and SLSO consults — practical, specific, often just one session
- IEP / EAP / ILP collaboration including attending meetings
- AAC integration into the school day so the system at school matches home
- Transition planning for prep, high school, or NDIS-funded changes of placement
We translate between the world of clinical reports and the world of teacher caseloads. A good school consult ends with the teacher feeling like they got useful tools, not more paperwork.
Plan reviews and changes of circumstance
If your plan is coming up for reassessment, we’ll work backwards from the meeting date so the report lands in time. If your circumstances have changed — a new diagnosis, a school move, an escalation in support needs — we can write the supporting evidence for a change-of-circumstance review.
We are familiar with the LAC and NDIA review process, what planners typically ask for, and the specific language that helps recommendations stick. If you have a planner who is unfamiliar with neurodiversity-affirming practice, we can frame goals in ways that are still defensible to them without compromising on identity-first principles.
Multi-disciplinary work
We collaborate routinely with OTs, psychologists, paediatricians, dietitians and educators. When a participant has a multidisciplinary team, we aim to be the easiest person on it to work with — quick to respond, clear in our reports, generous with our reasoning.
If you’re the parent of a participant and your team currently consists of professionals who don’t talk to each other, we can take on the coordination role within our scope.
Practicalities
We are an NDIS-registered speech pathology provider and work with self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed plans. Most school and NDIS work is funded under Improved Daily Living or, for AAC, under Assistive Technology. We can quote in advance for one-off requests like a standalone report.
