We’re a Sunshine Coast Hinterland speech therapy service that empowers families with warm, family-centred, child-led care. Our approach fosters growth, joy and self-learning, ensuring every child’s voice is valued. We provide personalised support in the environments that matter most – at our welcoming clinic space, in your home, or out in the community – wherever communication happens (hint: that’s everywhere!)
Hello Sunshine Speech Therapy believes in making children’s speech pathology journeys engaging and enjoyable.
- CONNECTION-FIRST We use responsive, child-led strategies to support regulation, strengthen relationships, and create a space where connection comes first.
- PLAY WITH PURPOSE We follow each child’s interests to create playful, sensory-rich and movement-based opportunities for connection and communication.
- REAL-WORLD LEARNING From parks to playrooms, we focus on practical, everyday communication skills — supporting families to build connection and confidence across home, community and beyond.
Who we support:
- SPEECH AND LANGUAGE: Support for speech sound production, vocabulary, sentence-building, and understanding – helping your child communicate clearly and confidently.
- NEURODIVERGENT SUPPORT: Respectful, neuro-affirming therapy for autistic children, ADHDers, PDA profiles, and other neurodivergent presentations.
- AAC USERS & GESTALT LANGUAGE PROCESSING: Support for Gestalt Language Processors using multi-modal communication and parent coaching supports, as well as a range of AAC users, including both low- and high-tech communication systems.
- BEHAVIOUR & REGULATION: Looking beneath the behaviour – supporting regulation and connection through communication supports.
- FEELINGS & EMOTIONS: We support emotional literacy through a communication lens — helping children recognise their feelings, understand how emotions are expressed, and develop the vocabulary to talk about them. This supports self-expression and builds stronger connections with others.
- COMPLEX PRESENTATIONS: Support for children with more complex needs, including: – Mental health challenges and anxiety – Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) – Cerebral Palsy and other neurological conditions – Genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and Fragile X syndrome. – Rare or undiagnosed genetic conditions or developmental differences
We also work with children who haven’t found success with other therapists, offering a flexible, relationship-first approach that meets them where they are.
