Welcome to ​Spark Speech Pathology


Welcome to Spark Speech Pathology. Each of our clients already has their own unique spark. Our goal is to keep that spark glowing and provide the necessary fuel to keep it burning bright. Communicating effectively involves creating meaningful connections with others. At Spark, we believe it's all about enlightening others and igniting connections.

How We Ignite Connections


Picture
Igniting connections between our therapists and their clients and personalizing their therapy programs to keep them engaged and motivated. We provide both individual and group therapy at our rooms in Caulfield South, at local schools and early childhood centres or at your home. We also offer Telehealth sessions.

​Igniting connections between our clients and their peers or colleagues. At Spark, we have a special interest in the area of social skills. We believe social skills are essential throughout our lifespan in order to make strong connections with others and maintain self-esteem. We work with children of all ages (including pre-school), adolescents and adults to assist with conversational skills, working and playing co-operatively, friendships and reading social situations.
Picture
Igniting connections in our clients’ brains to assist them to learn skills and enable them to move forward toward their goals. We are strong advocates of developing a growth mindset (i.e. having the courage to attempt tasks that may at first seem difficult or a little scary). This results in stronger neural connections.
Picture
Igniting connections with parents and assisting them to best support their child and appreciate their child’s successes. We respect the fact that parents know their child better than anyone else and we work together to share our expertise with theirs.
Picture
​Igniting connections with other professionals who are involved with our clients (e.g. teachers, occupational therapists, psychologists, paediatricians). This ensures that the clients are viewed holistically and that skills learned can be transferred into other settings. We also believe in setting goals that are functional and meaningful across different contexts.
