Mobile Speech Pathology services for children aged 0-13 years
Paediatric Speech Pathology on the Central Coast, NSW
I’m Sarah Sinclair, a passionate and dedicated speech pathologist with a strong background in early childhood education and extensive experience in supporting children with communication challenges. With a Diploma in Childcare and a Bachelor of Speech Pathology, I understand the vital role early intervention plays in a child’s development.
My journey began in early childhood education, where I recognised the importance of fostering communication skills from a young age. I have also worked as an ESDM therapist and ABA therapist, specialising in supporting autistic children. This experience has deepened my commitment to helping children reach their full potential through tailored interventions.
I am a Certified Practicing Speech Pathologist and a proud member of Speech Pathology Australia. Further training I have completed include:
- More than Words: The Hanen Program for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Key Word Sign Workshop
- Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)
- Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) Assessment and Treatment
- Read3: an integrated literacy intervention that supports children with multiple processing difficulties
I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to communicate effectively and confidently. My approach is personalised and collaborative, ensuring that both children and their families feel supported throughout the therapy process.
I look forward to helping your child thrive in their communication journey!
What to expect
We offer mobile services at your child’s preschool, school, or home environment, ensuring that therapy takes place in a familiar setting. Here’s how the process works:
1. Initial Assessment
Your journey begins with an initial assessment, where we take the time to understand your child’s unique communication needs. During this session, we gather information through interviews, standardised assessments, and observations to create a comprehensive profile of your child’s strengths and challenges.
2. Assessment Report
Following the assessment, we compile a comprehensive assessment report that outlines our findings. This report includes insights into your child’s communication abilities and serves as a foundation for the next steps in their therapy journey.
3. Goal Setting
Following the assessment, we collaborate with you to establish personalised goals for your child’s speech and language development. These goals are tailored to your child’s individual needs and aspirations, ensuring a focused approach to therapy.
4. Ongoing Therapy
Once goals are set, we conduct regular therapy sessions during school terms, conveniently at your child’s preschool, school, or home. Our engaging, evidence-based interventions aim to build your child’s communication skills in a comfortable environment. We make each session fun and interactive, addressing the specific goals established. Additionally, we provide homework to reinforce skills learned in therapy, allowing practice in a supportive way at home.
5. Regular Reviews
Throughout the therapy process, we conduct regular reviews to monitor your child’s progress and adjust goals as needed. These reviews ensure that therapy remains effective and aligned with your child’s evolving needs. We encourage open communication with families to discuss progress and any concerns.
