​Services for people of all ages

Our mission is making sure that all New Zealanders can access speech-language therapy when they want it.  We are passionate about making sure people can express themselves in language, so they can be understood for who they are and what they have to say.  Let us help you or help someone else you care about to show up as themselves through communication, so they can connect authentically with other human beings and be known, accepted, and loved for who they really are.

Give your child the help they need

You want your child to communicate properly, to have friends, and do well at school and in life.  Are you concerned that your child could be having problems with listening, understanding, speaking, reading, spelling, or writing, or with attention, memory and thinking for learning?  Let us help you get to the bottom of what is going on for your child so you can be sure to get them the right help for the right things.

Home of the 'communication currency for kids' initiative

We are working to provide families with another speech-language therapy pathway for children besides only the public service pathway.  This pathway is not free, but is subsidised through our 'communication currency for kids' shared funding initiative. 

​Our team of Dedicated Referrers,
Community Partners, and Nominated Providers enable consistent comprehensive communication screening, a first appointment in 10 days, and initial assessment in 30 days - guaranteed.  

​
Together, we are enabling an affordable, accessible, unconstrained, consistent, substantial, well-supported and ongoing speech-language therapy service to make sure that children with Communication Disorders are identified and get the help they need as soon as possible, so they can have the greatest lives possible.

Specialised literacy

Reading, spelling or writing problem standing in your way?  Let us help uncover why these things are hard and help improve written communication skills for school, study and work.  We support both children and adults to get on with literacy using  instructional strategies based on the Science of Reading and practical, effective, time-saving workarounds.

Convenient for you

The Speechie Centre in Palmerston North is open 5 days a week from 8am to 6pm.   Our telehealth service operates year round through online and telephone appointments - pandemic or no pandemic.  Our regional service brings Speech-Language Therapists to communities outside Palmerston North in our 7-meter mobile clinic van.  Our school visiting service means we can see children at school so parents don't have to take time off work or squeeze in an extra activity after school.  And our home visiting service brings your Speech-Language Therapist straight to your door.
