​Who we are
We are the largest independent provider of speech-language therapy services in the Central region.  We believe that communication and literacy are fundamental human rights, and that everyone has the right to get the support they need to learn language and to learn to read & write.  Our vision is making it easy for people to get speech-language therapy when they need it.  Our mission is transforming lives and creating new futures.  

​We accept payment plans - no interest, no finance charges and no account fees
We offer payment plans and will never charge extra to have a payment plan, because we our commitment is to keep the costs as low as we possibly can for the families we serve. 

Financial assistance for children / tamariki
We support the families / whanau of children / tamariki who we diagnose with clinically significant communication difficulties to apply for the WINZ Child Disability Allowance.  (If approved, this allowance pays around $48 per week directly to the child's family as a contribution toward extra costs incurred in meeting the child's needs and can be put toward the cost of treatment.  This allowance is not means tested and is therefore potentially available to all families regardless of their income.)
