Speech therapy for kids and teens

Confident communication doesn’t always come easily, and that’s okay. At Interact Speech Pathology, we help children build the skills to feel seen, understood and connected – from home to learning, and learning to life.

Through evidence-informed, play-based and interactive therapy, we can help your child unlock the confidence to interact with their world, one step at a time.

When communication feels hard

If your child finds it challenging to understand language, explain what they mean, follow conversations, or gets frustrated when they don’t get their message across, our experienced team can help.

As skilled therapists, we provide support for:

Speech sounds & articulation: clarity and accuracy of sounds
Language understanding and expression: following instructions, use sentences that make sense
Social communication: turn-taking, joining in, having two-way conversations, reading social cues, tuning into feelings
Fluency (stuttering): ease and flow of speech
Literacy foundations: early reading, spelling and phonological skills

Located in Geelong, we support families and educators across the Bellarine, Surf Coast, and Greater Geelong regions. We can help your family with assessments, educational-based observations and therapy guidance.

Not sure where to begin?

From curious toddlers to growing teens, we help families make sense of their child’s communication strengths and discover the best way forward.

Because every child is different, we like to start with an assessment – building a full picture of what comes easily, what’s more challenging, and what you hope to achieve.

We offer:

Pragmatic/social language assessments to inform autism assessments and support diagnosis
Academic language assessments, including CELF-5 and CELF Preschool-3
Articulation assessments
Literacy screeners
Fluency assessments

From there, we plan supports together so that friends, family and educators can work toward a shared goal.
