School Holiday Programs available at Speak, Learn and Grow Speech Pathology Services….
School Holiday Programs
The school holidays are the perfect time to give your child’s skills a boost! Our 3-day intensive programs are a fun and focused way to build progress in a short time.Each program runs over three consecutive days and typically includes small groups of 2–3 children.
Our therapists follow a structured plan but tailor the pace, content, and focus to suit each child’s individual needs and goals.
If your child already attends our practice, simply chat with your therapist about joining an intensive program. If you’re new to Speak, Learn & Grow, we’ll start with a brief 30-minute session before the program to assess your child’s current level and ensure the best group placement.
The full intensive includes three one-hour sessions, though you’re welcome to attend just one or two days if preferred. Let us know your availability and goals, and we’ll match you with the most suitable group.
Don’t forget — you may be eligible for rebates! Ask your GP about a Care Plan if you haven’t used one this year. This allows you to claim a portion of up to five sessions through Medicare.
