Smarty, where I live, private speech therapy is approximately $100AUD per visit for an hour session. My son is supposed to have two sessions per week. With private health cover, that still does not cover the full or even half the costs of these visits. Speech therapists are hard to come by in public and private systems. I haven’t had my child labelled with a disability, he was born that way and I will do what I can within my power to see he gets the help he deserves as most parents with a disabled child/ren would.
