Enable your child to reach their full potential
About Us
At Talk2 speech pathology, we work closely with families to help you understand your child’s communication skills and behaviours, and we strive to enable your child to reach their full potential.
We understand that communication is integral to every aspect of life. To be understood, to understand, to support relationships and meaningful interactions, and to learn. We therefore invest in improving a child’s ability to communicate, in every possible way.
We offer speech pathology and education services for children and adolescents between 2-18 years of age. We bring our experience and energy to offer assessment, and to deliver evidence- based therapy. We provide family-centred support and practical tools that will empower kids to grow and learn.
Our mission is to provide kids and families with a high-quality professional service that supports their ongoing development and equips them to be the best they can be. To do this, we believe in working from a strengths-based perspective where we acknowledge and encourage a child’s unique abilities.
Talk2 offers in clinic sessions, home visits, school visits and Telehealth.
Talk2 is located in Melbourne.
