Speech Pathology & Occupational Therapy

Day by Day Early Intervention provides paediatric speech pathology and occupational therapy for children and families across Adelaide’s western suburbs, including Port Adelaide, Semaphore, Findon, Woodville, Seaton, West Lakes, Henley Beach, and surrounding areas.

We are based in Port Adelaide and support families through clinic-based sessions, as well as home, community, early learning, and school visits.

Our speech pathologists support children who may be experiencing challenges with:

• • Speech sound development and clarity
  • Language delays (understanding and using language)
  • Social communication and interaction
  • Stuttering
  • Early communication development
  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
  • Feeding and mealtime communication concerns

We work closely with families and educators to support communication skills that carry over into everyday routines, play, learning, and participation at home and in the community.
