Affordable Speech Therapy

Supporting your child’s speech development shouldn’t feel financially overwhelming. At Vibrance Speech Pathology, we offer a supervised Allied Health Assistant (AHA) and student-delivered therapy model designed to make high-quality speech therapy more accessible—without compromising on care.

What is our AHA / Student-Delivered Therapy Model?

Some therapy sessions at Vibrance can be delivered by speech pathology students or Allied Health Assistants, working closely under the guidance of a fully qualified and experienced Speech Pathologist.

 

Our clinicians-in-training are:

  • Enthusiastic, motivated, and up-to-date with current therapy approaches

  • Carefully selected and trained

  • Passionate about working with children and making therapy fun.

 

Most importantly, they never work independently. Every session is:

  • Planned by a qualified speech pathologist

  • Closely supervised

  • Adjusted and reviewed weekly to ensure your child is making progress.

Why the model works

Children with speech sound and language difficulties benefit from:

  • Repetition

  • Frequent practice

  • Engaging, play-based learning.

 

Our AHA/student model allows your child to access more frequent therapy sessions, which can be key for faster progress—especially when learning new skills. Because these sessions are offered at a reduced rate, families can often:

  • Attend therapy more often, reducing the overall duration of therapy

  • Reduce the cost of therapy over time

  • Maintain consistency without long gaps between sessions.

The cost benefit for families

We know cost matters. This model allows us to offer:

  • Lower session fees compared to therapist-delivered sessions

  • A way to stretch your therapy budget further

  • Flexible options that combine therapist-led and assistant-led sessions.

 

For many families, this means:

More therapy, more practice, and better value for money.

Expert oversight — every step of the way

While sessions may be delivered by an assistant or student, your child’s therapy is always led by an experienced speech pathologist.

 

At Vibrance, all programs are:

  • Designed and overseen by a highly experienced speech pathologist

  • Monitored with regular progress reviews and adjustments.

 

This ensures that therapy remains:

  • Evidence-based

  • Individualised

  • Safe, effective, and goal-focused.​

 

You get the best of both worlds:
Affordable therapy sessions with the reassurance of expert clinical oversight.

Is this option right for my child?

This model can be a great fit for families who:

  • Are supporting a child with speech sound or language difficulties

  • Want high-quality therapy at a more affordable cost

  • Value frequent, consistent practice

  • Feel comfortable with sessions being delivered by a supervised assistant or student.

 

We’ll always talk through your options and help you decide what’s best for your child and family.
