Interact Speech Pathology

Interact Speech Pathology Interact Speech Pathology provides a quality speech pathology service to children and adolescents in the Geelong, Surfcoast and Bellarine area.

Skype consults are available upon request. *Building speech, language, literacy and social skills for kids*

Better communication starts with understanding where your child is at right now. At Interact Speech Pathology, we help kids build the skills to be understood, listen and learn with confidence. Grounded in evidence and delivered through play, our therapists support speech sound and language development, literacy skills, fluency and social communication. Because every child is different, we start by getting the full picture – what comes easily, what’s more challenging and what you hope to achieve. From there, we plan the next steps together to help your child engage confidently with their world. Our experienced team offers neuro-affirming, strengths-based care that fits your child’s needs and connection style. We partner with families and educators to set realistic goals, track progress and share simple at-home activities after each session. Ready to take the next step?

As the year progresses, many children (and parents!) are already running on empty. It’s been a big year, and the next few months can feel even bigger. There’s Christmas excitement in the air, graduations, end-of-year concerts, birthdays, and a full calendar of change and emotion.

It’s no surprise that many kids start showing signs of tiredness, overwhelm, or anxiety right about now. And when their world feels loud or unpredictable, even the kindest, most well-intentioned words can sometimes feel like too much.

Now is the season for connection over correction – and a great time to practise using low-demand language with your family. This gentle way of communicating can reduce stress and support regulation, helping your child feel understood and regulated as the unfolds.

Here are a few simple ideas to try this week:

✅ Swap questions for comments. Think “I'm heading to the car now," instead of “Can you please get in the car?”
✅ Swap verbal instructions for friendly gestures - like opening your arms instead of asking for a hug
✅ Turn tricky tasks into a game where possible
✅ Share the load. Instead of “Time to pack your bag,” try “I’ll grab your lunchbox while you find your hat.”

Read all about low demand language in an article Caitlin co-authored with Think Psychologists at https://www.thinkpsychologists.com.au/blog/low-demand-language-pda-kids/

Happy Speech Pathology Week with this year’s theme being ‘Impact Through Communication’. We are celebrating the power of communication through our voices, bodies, facial expressions, through listening and expressing ourselves with devices, sign language, gestures and the spoken word. Speech Pathologists on our team are supporting students in developing their speech sound development, receptive and expressive language, their social communication, their communication to actively play with their peers, siblings and families, their literacy development, their fluency and developing alternative ways to communicate using devices and/or pictures.
Communication is for everyone! Let’s celebrate the Speechies in our lives!!! (And the incredible children and families we have the opportunity to support!!)
