Comprehensive Speech Pathology in Sydney & NSW
At daar, we understand that communication is complex. It involves hearing, processing, planning, and speaking. Our clinicians are highly trained to assess and treat the full spectrum of communication challenges, tailoring every session to the unique needs of your child.

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 Families Across Sydney & NSW
At daar, we are proud to extend our expert speech pathology services to families across the entire Greater Sydney region and New South Wales. We understand that for families living in busy suburbs or regional areas, having access to reliable, high-quality healthcare close to home is vital.
Our mobile team regularly services the Sydney metropolitan 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:
- Western Sydney: Comprehensive support for residents in Liverpool, Fairfield, Parramatta, and Blacktown.
- South West Sydney: Convenient home visits for families in Campbelltown, Camden, and the Macarthur region.

No matter where you are located in Sydney or NSW, daar is your local partner for communication success.
Social Communication & Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
At daar, we celebrate the unique way every brain works. We are proud to be a neurodiversity-affirming practice, supporting Autistic individuals (ASD) and those with ADHD to communicate authentically and confidently.
We have moved away from traditional "social skills training" that teaches children to mask or hide who they are. Instead, our Social Communication therapy focuses on empowering clients to navigate the social world on their own terms.
Our Strengths-Based Approach Includes:
- Authentic Connection: Helping clients build genuine relationships based on their own interests rather than forcing them to mask.
- Self-Advocacy: Teaching children and adults to understand their own brains, set boundaries, and ask for the support they need.
- Bridging Communication Styles: Educating families and peers that communication is a two-way street (the Double Empathy Problem), fostering mutual understanding.
- Emotional Regulation: Supporting clients to recognize their internal signals and navigate social environments with confidence.

Specialized Support for All Speech Diagnoses
At daar, our clinical expertise extends far beyond general speech and language delays. We are equipped to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of complex communication and swallowing conditions. Our team engages in continuous professional development to ensure we are using the latest evidence-based practices for every speech diagnosis.
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.
