“Professional, patient and really positive”

We have working with Bec for 2 months and she has been amazing, so professional, patient and really positive with my son who is 2. My eldest has had speech therapy at another service for over 5 years and the most I ever got was an occasional printout. Bec put together a full plan and take home book for us within the second session full of home exercises, explanations and resources to support us in the home and at childcare. The admin team have also been fantastic, can not fault them!

“A great experience”

Had a great experience with Zanda Macleod, our S.L.P Ali Odgers was fantastic & very active with our boy (which is hard to do, he is very busy). Offered us a plan and provided some additional resources to help us further. The receptionist was also very welcoming. Would Recommend to any parent not sure of where there child's language development is at.
