The amount of time needed to complete an assessment for other speech and language issues, interpret the results and findings, and compile a report is dependent mainly on the complexity of the assessment and also on the participation and attention span of the child. For these reasons, a range of times and prices are given for assessments. An estimated fee will be discussed prior to the assessment session. There is a minimum of two hours ($280) allocated and charged.

Telehealth Therapy Services
Assessment and therapy sessions are available via telehealth using Zoom in combination with telephone and email.
During COVID 19 related lockdowns in Perth, your therapy can continue without interruption.
Research has shown that this remote way of delivering therapy is very effective for the Lidcombe Program and the Camperdown Program.
Not sure how this could work? Fiona will chat through how telehealth sessions can work prior to scheduling the first appointment.
The fee structure for this service is the same per hour rate as face to face therapy sessions.
