Communication is central to your child’s development. Contact the MQ Health Speech and Hearing Clinic to register your interest for the 2020 programs.
Children of the same age learn in different ways and at different paces. Our school holiday programs are designed to nurture the social and communication skills of children, and cater for a range of different age groups. Children are welcome to attend more than one session, depending on their age.
Children are divided into different age groups across our four streams. If your child doesn’t fall into any of the age groups listed, let us know. We may be able to offer additional sessions for other ages, depending on demand.
Our experienced speech pathologists and our Master of Speech and Language Pathology students provide effective, evidence-based therapy programs that aim to help your child’s social and communication skills.
You do not need to be an existing client to attend these sessions – new clients are welcome.
