Speech Pathology
Speech pathologists for children and young people
Our registered NDIS speech pathologists help children and young people in Adelaide and regional South Australia who have difficulties with communicating - speaking, listening and using language effectively. We develop speech therapy programs for kids (9+), adolescents and young adults and introduce alternative communication methods when necessary.
Speech Pathology with Kudos
When you work with Kudos, we become part of your team and you become part of ours. No matter where you are today and where you want to go tomorrow, our friendly and experienced team is on your team and we’re here to help.
If your child or young person has funding for Speech Therapy in their NDIS plan, our team can provide personalised assessment and intervention to support speech and language development, communication, social skill development, and mealtime support.
Our team can also provide personalised recommendations regarding alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) when this approach is beneficial.
Every child and young person we work with has a program tailored to their unique needs. We meet you wherever works best for you – at home, school or even the park. Our team also includes occupational therapists, developmental educators, physiotherapists and other specialists who work together closely to support you when needed.

I have more questions
What is your availability for Speech Pathology?
You can access our live availability dashboard here. It shows all services across all areas. If we don’t currently have availability in your area you can share your details and we’ll contact you when there is availability.
What age do you offer Speech Pathology for?
We offer speech pathology for children 9 years and over, young people and adults. You are never too old to work on your communication goals.
Are your speech pathologists registered NDIS speech pathologists?
All our Speech Pathologists are members of Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) which is our professional organisation in Australia. This means that we fulfil the professional requirements for completing professional learning and development every year and are bound by the Code of Ethics of SPA which ensures that we maintain the highest standards of professional practice.
Also, as an NDIS registered provider of support, we work with clients who have an approved NDIS plan.
I have Speech Therapy in my NDIS plan, are Speech Therapy and Speech Pathology the same?
Yes, they are – we are known as speech therapists, speech pathologists and of course our lovely nickname – speechies!
How do you make children or teenagers feel comfortable if they are nervous?
We give it time and avoid putting any pressure on the child or young person. We use places and activities that are familiar and motivating, and include people who can support them in sessions such as a parent, sibling or a friend. Children and young people gain a sense of pride in their skills as sessions focus on activities they can succeed in. And of course, we make it fun!
Can you help if my child has trouble at meal times and eating safely?
Yes. Speech Pathologists are trained to assess mealtime skills and safe swallowing. We can write a plan (Oral eating and drinking care plan) with recommendations for safe eating and drinking.
Where do the sessions take place?
Our sessions can happen at school, home, our office, and just about anywhere in the community that is a comfortable place for the person we work with.
Do you also work with teachers?
We always communicate with the person’s whole team – it is important to work together to share our strategies and ideas to make sure that the child or young person is supported by everyone around them. This can include teachers, parents, grandparents, other health professionals or support workers – the best support happens when we have everyone working together.
