​WINZ Child Disability Allowance
We recommend all children who we diagnose with a Communication Disorder for the WINZ Child Disability Allowance (WINZ CDA).  This allowance  is not means tested and is potentially available to all families regardless of their income level.  It currently pays around $48 per week directly to the child's family as a contribution toward to the extra costs incurred in meeting the child's needs and can be used toward the cost of speech-language treatment.

As at July 1st, the cost of all our assessments is fixed at $250 including GST.   All assessments include a formal assessment report.
​

Initial Assessment
All ages
Initial assessments include the following:
     1.  One hour appointment
     2.  Evaluation of the specific presenting concern
     3.  Comprehensive screening of the child's communication skills 
     4.  Formal assessment report including findings, recommendations and referrals as appropriate


​Language, Listening & Learning Assessment
Ages 6 to 16
This discounted screening package is suitable for children who are not coping well with the demands of school, struggling with listening or learning or generally not keeping up with their peers.  This assessment is also essential for ruling out deficits in collateral areas that might readily explain a child's listening difficulties before proceeding with an APD assessment.  It includes four internationally gold standard screenings that identify clinically significant difficulties in 3 critical areas that underpin academic and social success:

  • Executive functions to screen for emotion, behaviour and cognitive regulation difficulties and ADHD and ASD
  • Verbal ability and non-verbal abstraction to screen for cognitive / IQ / learning potential 
  • Oral language to screen for clinically significant communication difficulties and Language Disorder  
​
 Two of the screenings will be conducted by the Speech-Language Therapist directly with the child .  The remaining two screenings are in the form of standardised rating scales to be completed by the child's parents.  You will receive a formal assessment report including findings, recommendations and referrals as appropriate.


​Assessment for Dyslexia Prevention & Intervention
Ages 4 to 24

Assessment for Dyslexia Diagnosis
Ages 4 to 50

​Comprehensive Oral Language Assessment
