Helping your child become a confident reader, writer, and communicator.

If your child is struggling with reading, spelling, writing, or language skills, therapy is designed to give them the clear, structured support they need to build strong foundations and make real progress.

How The Process Works

Helpful ways to manage the cost of therapy

I understand that investing in ongoing therapy is an important commitment for families, and there are a few ways you may choose to structure sessions to make support more manageable financially.​

  • Fortnightly sessions: Some families choose to attend fortnightly rather than weekly. This can be a helpful option when consistent support is still needed, but a slightly slower pace is appropriate for your child’s goals. Therapy guidance and activities can be provided for weeks when the child does not have therapy scheduled.

  • Medicare rebates (if eligible): You may be able to access rebates through a Chronic Disease Management Plan or Neurodivergent Plan from your GP, depending on eligibility criteria.

  • NDIS funding: Therapy may be funded through NDIS for self-managed or plan-managed participants. I can provide invoices and reports to support your plan requirements.

  • Private health insurance: Some families are able to claim partial rebates depending on their level of extras cover.
