Speech Pathology FAQ

How long do Literacy Clinic sessions run for?

Each session runs for 45 minutes over a 12-week block (including school holidays).

Where are the sessions?

Sessions can either be held at our 2/259 Glen Osmond Road Frewville location or Shop 8/ 715 South Road, Black Forest location.

Can you do your sessions online?

Yes! You can do your sessions online however, if you are wanting an assessment for your child the assessment will need to be done face-to-face.

What happens if we miss or we are unable to attend a session?

A maximum of one (1) rescheduled appointment per block of appointments is permitted. Please note that payment is still required for the rescheduled appointment. The rescheduled appointment will occur not later than one week after the end of the twelve (12) week block. On the day of the rescheduled appointment no fee will be required. Any additional missed appointments will remain billable and will depend on the practitioner’s availability if they are able to book in a make-up session.

What happens if my child is too sick to come to the clinic but still okay to participate in their session?

The session can be switched to an online session if you allow at least 24 hours' notice for the practitioner to plan the session and send through an online link. The more notice you give, the more time it allows the practitioner to pre-plan their online session.

How much does a 12-week block cost?

Each session is $140 (45 minutes) or $180 (60 minutes). Any workbooks required will be at an additional cost.

If you are a SPELD SA member, this will entitle you to receive 5% discount per session as well as 5% discount for essential homework books (excluding bursary families and pre-pay of block).

What happens at the end of my 12-week block?

Towards the end of your 12-week block, the speech pathologist will have a discussion with you to work out whether another block is required. If so, an online renewal notice will be sent to you to fill out. The renewal notice needs to be signed and sent back as soon as possible to secure a spot for another 12-week block.

When do I pay for the session?

The lesson fees are due the day of each session. With online sessions, an invoice will be sent to your email address once the session has been completed and we kindly ask that payment is made the day of the session.
