Speech concerns

[HotI]

i organised speech therapy thru referral by mchn. not sure if this would still apply once school starts. but maybe worth asking if you have a good mchn.

Hugs hun you are an awesome mummy.

DS1 has speech issues and we have seen a speech for 2 and a bit years, sadly now over as was a pre school clinic but the school speech will pick him up but we may need to also access private as school is only once a fortnight for 30 mins. He doesn't have some sounds he should have and also has developed a stutter.

DS2 also has a stutter and some unclear sounds but un sure if his is from copying or an actual issue, I got a referal to a community speech who said without a health care card I will still be paying $120 a session!!!! Private when i rang around was $150-$180 a session.

You can get a health care plan from GP which gives you 5 subsadised sessions a year but they can charge you over the schedule so you can still be out of pocket.

Private speech you don't necessarily need a referal to.

Does your school have a speech??
