Our Services
Supporting Families on the Eyre Peninsula
Our team includes speech pathologists, occupational therapists, a youth development practitioner and an allied health assistant and we offer a wide range of services right here on the Eyre Peninsula.
We support families with young children and teenagers in locations across the Eyre Peninsula. Sometimes we see kids and their families here at Tobruk Centre in Port Lincoln, other times we carry out school and kindy visits, home visits or even community-based activities. We want kids to feel safe and connected so we bring our therapy to them.
You might see us supporting a group of students to be confident to visit the local cafe or create a game on the foreshore playground. Or you might hear of a family visiting the Centre or the therapist working in a classroom. Our services can be very flexible, because we are led by your ideas and needs.

Concerns about Speech and Language Development
