Your Trusted NDIS Speech Therapy Provider
Navigating the Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can feel overwhelming, but accessing your child’s therapy shouldn’t be. At daar, we are a registered NDIS provider, helping families make the most of their funding to achieve real-world outcomes. We support all management types, including NDIA/agency-managed, plan-managed, and self-managed plans.
NDIS for Kids – Early Childhood Early Intervention
The early years are crucial for brain development. If you have concerns about your child’s communication, “wait and see” is rarely the best approach. Our NDIS for kids services focus on Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI), providing timely assessments for NDIS access requests or plan reviews. Whether your child has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Global Developmental Delay, or needs extra support with language skills, we guide you every step of the way.
For expert speech therapy in Georges River, contact daar today and give your child the support they need to thrive.

Speech and reading are deeply connected. We support children with reading, spelling, and pre-literacy skills to ensure they thrive in the classroom.
