Expert Speech Therapy for Children in Claymore
At daar, we believe that every child deserves a voice. Communication is the foundation of connection, learning, and confidence. If you are concerned about your child’s ability to speak, understand, or interact with others, our dedicated team provides evidence-based Speech Pathology for Children designed to unlock their full potential.
Based in the Campbelltown region, we extend our compassionate, culturally responsive care to families in Claymore, across all Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Sydney, and throughout regional New South Wales. Whether your child needs support with articulation, fluency, social skills, or feeding, daar is your partner in their developmental journey. We don’t just treat a diagnosis; we treat the whole child, empowering them to communicate with the world around them.
NDIS Speech Therapy and Funding Support
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be complex and overwhelming for families. At daar, we are committed to making this process as smooth as possible. As experienced providers of NDIS speech therapy, we work with self-managed, plan-managed, and agency-managed participants.
We specifically tailor our services to support NDIS for kids, ensuring that your funding is utilised effectively to reach your child's specific functional goals. We understand the NDIS pricing arrangements and price limits, ensuring transparency and value in every session.
To support NDIS participants, we collaborate with you to set functional, achievable goals that align with your NDIS plan. We provide comprehensive assessment reports and progress reports required for plan reviews and work alongside Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Psychologists, and Educators to ensure a holistic approach to your child's care. From the initial planning meeting to the end-of-plan review, daar supports you through the administrative side of therapy so you can focus on what matters most—your child’s progress.
Discover how we can support your child's development through NDIS Speech Therapy Campbelltown.
Comprehensive Paediatric Speech Therapy Services
daar services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. We offer clinic-based appointments in Claymore, mobile services for home and school visits in select Campbelltown suburbs, and high-quality Telehealth options for families across NSW.
Speech Sound Disorders
We help children who struggle to be understood due to articulation errors (making specific sounds) or phonological processes (patterns of sound errors).
Language Delays & Disorders
Our therapists work on both receptive language (understanding instructions and questions) and expressive language (using words and sentences to share ideas).
Literacy & Phonological Awareness
Speech and reading are deeply connected. We support children with reading, spelling, and pre-literacy skills to ensure they thrive in the classroom.
Stuttering for Children
Fluency issues can impact a child's confidence. We use evidence-based programs, such as the Lidcombe Program, to manage stuttering and help children speak smoothly and confidently.
Serving Claymore and All Surrounding Suburbs
At daar, we are proud to extend our expert speech pathology services to the evolving, community-focused suburb of Claymore. We understand that for families living in the renewed residential areas, near the local schools, or the community centre, having access to reliable healthcare close to home is vital.
Our mobile team regularly services the Claymore area, ensuring that NDIS speech therapy is accessible right where you need it—whether that’s at home, at school, or via telehealth.
We proudly serve families in:
- Claymore: Comprehensive support for residents near the community centre and schools.
- Eagle Vale: Convenient home visits for families in the neighboring leafy suburb.
- Blairmount: Partnering with local schools to provide seamless, integrated care.
- Eshol Park: Ensuring accessible therapy options for the wider community.
- Campbelltown: Connecting our neighbors with high-quality speech and swallowing support.
No matter where you are located in the Claymore area, daar is your local partner for communication success.
Social Communication & Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
At daar, we view social communication through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. We understand that there is no single "right" way to communicate. Our goal is not to train children to mask their authentic selves or mimic neurotypical behaviours, but rather to support them in navigating the social world in a way that feels safe and true to who they are.
We support Social Communication by focusing on self-advocacy, mutual understanding, and connection. This includes:
- Understanding Communication Styles: Helping children understand their own unique communication style and how it might differ from others.
- Self-Advocacy: Empowering children to express their needs, set boundaries, and ask for clarification when they don't understand.
- Perspective Taking: Exploring how different people experience the world and interpret social cues, fostering empathy and connection on both sides of the conversation.
This approach is particularly vital for Autistic children and those with ADHD. We move away from "social skills training" that focuses on compliance (like forced eye contact) and instead focus on authentic social connection, helping your child build meaningful relationships on their own terms.
Specialized Support for All Speech Diagnoses
Our speech pathologists are highly experienced in assessing and treating a wide range of communication and swallowing diagnoses. We provide comprehensive support for children with diverse needs, ensuring that every child receives the specific care required for their condition.
Motor Speech Disorders
- Apraxia of Speech (CAS): We support children and adults with Childhood Apraxia of Speech or acquired apraxia, focusing on motor planning to produce clear speech.
- Dysarthria: We provide strategies to improve speech clarity for individuals with muscle weakness affecting speech production.
Swallowing & Feeding
- Dysphagia: Swallowing difficulties can be dangerous and isolating. Our team provides assessment and management plans for safe eating and drinking.
- Paediatric Feeding: We help "fussy eaters" and children with sensory aversions expand their diet and enjoy mealtimes.
Voice & Fluency
- Voice Disorders: We treat issues with pitch, volume, or quality of voice (such as nodules or vocal strain) to help you sound like yourself again.
- Stuttering & Cluttering: Beyond stuttering for children, we also support adolescents and adults with fluency disorders.
Acquired Communication Disorders
- Aphasia: We support language recovery following a stroke or brain injury, helping individuals regain their ability to speak, understand, read, and write.
- Cognitive-Communication Disorders: We assist with memory, attention, and problem-solving skills that impact daily communication.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
For those with limited verbal speech, we are experts in AAC. We assess, prescribe, and implement low-tech and high-tech communication devices to ensure every client has a way to express their needs and wants.
Literacy & Phonological Awareness
Strong speech skills lay the foundation for reading and writing. We support children with literacy challenges, including dyslexia and reading difficulties. By targeting Phonological Awareness (understanding sounds in words), we help bridge the gap between speaking and reading, ensuring academic success alongside communication goals.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you provide NDIS speech therapy?
Yes, daar is a registered NDIS provider. We offer NDIS speech therapy for participants who are self-managed, plan-managed, and NDIA-managed. We can support you with funding for NDIS for kids (early childhood) as well as therapeutic supports for school-aged children and adults.
Do I need a referral to see a Speech Pathologist?
No, a doctor's referral is not strictly required to access private speech pathology services at daar. However, if you are planning to claim rebates through Medicare (such as a Chronic Disease Management Plan), you will need a referral from your GP. NDIS participants do not need a medical referral to use their funding.
How long does speech therapy take?
The duration of therapy varies greatly depending on the diagnosis and severity. Some children with mild speech sound errors may only need a block of 10 sessions, while complex needs like Social Communication challenges or Apraxia of Speech may require ongoing, long-term support. Your Speech Pathologist will discuss a projected timeline with you after the initial assessment.
