Hello and welcome to The Social Concept! We are a mobile and telehealth speech pathology service based in Melbourne, supporting families and professionals with a range of practice areas. Our Speech Pathologists have experience working both adults and paediatric populations. We also offer services to companies and businesses to develop communication solutions for their teams.
Speech pathology.
Speech pathologists work with individuals who have difficulties with their communication and swallowing. We are able to diagnose and treat difficulties in speech, understanding and using language, reading, writing, social skills, stuttering, voice and mealtime difficulties.
Our services.
Assessment and Reports
An assessment is completed to determine where the client is at, so we can tailor your therapy needs. We also provide reports to document results, track progress and support funding application.
Individual Therapy
We provide individual therapy sessions that are tailored to each client’s needs. This includes working with those around them, such as parents, siblings, educator, employers or colleagues.
Workplace Communications
Speech pathologists work with individuals or companies seeking to upskill in their communication within the workplace. This can include individual consultations or working with the team.
Mobile Service
Face-to-face sessions are provided in within community, such as in schools, homes, offices or at your local facilities.
Telehealth Session
We also offer alternative options, such as telehealth (via a video call platform) for individuals who prefer this option.
Our team.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where neurodivergent team members feel supported, respected, and empowered to contribute in ways that align with their strengths.
We are also grateful to be connected with colleagues and other services around the Melbourne suburbs. If you are looking for an allied health practitioner and we are unable to provide the service, we may be able to refer you to a colleague near your area. Please get in contact if you require further assistance.
