About Us
Personalised care and understanding using a Person or Family Centred approach is what makes Allied Learning Place different. Here, you experience the benefits of a small private practice providing personal professional speech therapy services. Services are catered to you and/or your child to support communication development relating to speech, language, social engagement and any specific disability.
Clients can be any age. Assessment and therapy services are are personalised to provide high quality, best practise services to all our clients including complex needs clients and people on the Autism Spectrum (ASD Level 1-3).
Here, the aim is to cooperatively assess & maximise clients’ communication abilities using a Sensory Informed communication approach in therapy to effectively achieve our clients’ learning goals. This approach understands that a calm, regulated body is necessary for optimised learning and communication.
We prioritise developmental progress & functional home/community participation outcomes using a supportive ALLies Learning Framework. All communication partners are encouraged and supported to learn new ways to progress language learning and functional communication success for the client. This includes as much as possible, prioritising the the time and effort to link and cooperatively work within a multidisciplinary model with other allied health providers involved in the care of clients.
We consider compassion, kindness & kindhearted fun integral to successful outcomes in our practice.
A “Pay It Forward” philosophy is supported by sponsoring the Smith Family Student Support Scheme for more than 15 years. If you would like more information please let us know. https://www.thesmithfamily.com.au/sponsor-a-child/australia
