Frequently Asked Questions:

Can daar collaborate with my other NDIS providers, school, or support workers?

Yes, absolutely! We strongly believe in a collaborative, team-around-the-client approach. Simply doing therapy in a vacuum isn't enough; our speech pathologists regularly liaise with your Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Support Coordinators, teachers, and daily support workers. By sharing strategies and training your broader support network, we ensure that the communication and mealtime goals we work on in our sessions are consistently supported in your everyday life—whether you are at home, at school, or out in the Liverpool community.

What happens during the initial NDIS speech pathology assessment?

Your first session with daar is all about getting to know you and understanding your NDIS goals. Our speech pathologists will review your NDIS plan and any previous medical or allied health reports. We’ll discuss your current challenges—whether they involve communication, swallowing, or social skills—and conduct comprehensive, family-friendly assessments. For children, this often looks like guided play! Following this session, we will develop a customised therapy plan that gives you a clear roadmap to achieving your NDIS goals.

Do parents or carers need to be present during the therapy sessions?

Yes, we highly encourage it! A core philosophy of the NDIS is "capacity building." This means our goal isn't just to do the therapy for you, but to empower your entire support network. By having parents, carers, or support workers present during sessions, our speech pathologists can effectively coach you on specific strategies. This ensures that the communication and mealtime skills we practice in our Liverpool clinic—or during our mobile visits—can be confidently applied in your everyday routines at home.
