About these webpages
These webpages have been developed for families as part of a NSW Health Translational Research Grant titled “Waiting for speech pathology: Device versus advice?”.
Children sometimes have to wait to see a speech pathologist due to the high demand for services. These services pages provide information and resources for families and others to support children’s communication development in everyday situations, while they wait to see a speech pathologist.
These services pages are not intended to replace seeing a speech pathologist, but contain helpful information about what to do while you are waiting. You will also find information about what to expect from speech pathology services.
The team of speech pathologists who have developed this website in consultation with families and the public are: Emily Davis (NSW Health), Prof. Sharynne McLeod (Charles Sturt University), Katrina Rohr (NSW Health), Angela Roberts (NSW Health), Nicole McGill (Charles Sturt University), Katherine Miller (NSW Health), and Sally Thornton (NSW Health).
