Providing accessible, quality services has always been a focus of A Growing Understanding. By opening a new centre in Adamstown, we are helping Newcastle families access speech pathology services, develop essential skills and achieve their communication and feeding goals.
What Does Our Adamstown Speech Pathology Centre Offer?
When families visit our Adamstown Centre, they will be greeted with the smiling faces of our Client Experience Officers (CEOs). The CEOs will help you navigate your family’s speech pathology journey with confidence, provide you with information and advice, and ensure your child’s speech pathologist has everything they need to make each session meaningful.
Our Adamstown Centre offers lots of space for your child to learn and grow, and we have plenty of resources, games, books and so much more to ensure we can tap into your child’s interests and help them reach their goals in a fun and engaging way.
With a new space, come new team members, and with new team members, we can increase our capacity. Put this all together and what do you get – No Waiting Lists! We currently have the capacity to welcome new families, and our speech pathologists bring with them a variety of experience across many fields including (but not limited to):
- Speech Sound Difficulties
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Feeding
- Early / Pre-Literacy Skills
- School-aged Literacy Skills
- Social Communication Skills
- Augmentative Communication Alternative Communication (AAC)
- Voice Disorders
- Stuttering
- Expressive and Receptive Language Skills
The Extra Benefits that Will Make Your Life Easier
We know that as a busy parent, finding the time to make and attend appointments can be tricky. That is why we offer some extra benefits (across all Centres) that will ensure your speech pathology journey is smooth and you can access the services you need. These include:
- Free onsite parking – say goodbye to the battle of street parking in Newcastle, and access our carpark off Lockyer St (FYI – all of Centres offer on-site parking)
- Flexible services – we know that accessing face-to-face appointments isn’t always ideal, particularly in the current circumstances. That is why we continue to offer both face-to-face and online appointments to ensure your family can access the services they need consistently.
- Extended hours – it isn’t always easy juggling all the commitments your family has, including speech pathology appointments. Our Centres are open from 7am to 7pm, Monday Thursday, and from 7am to 1pm on Friday. This ensures you have better access to the appointment times that work for your family.
- Resources, information, and support – access to resources and information that can help you navigate your family’s speech pathology journey is incredibly important. Our Children’s Speech Therapyservices are anchored in coaching and empowerment which means you will receive the information and support you require to ensure your family gains the most from their speech pathology journey.
We believe that for children to develop important communication skills they must have access to the support and services that can help them achieve their goals. We are excited to help Newcastle families access quality speech pathology services, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our Adamstown Centre.
