Off-Site Services

Services can be provided at our clinic in Mount Barker, in the client’s home, childcare/ELC, kindy, or school, to children aged from approximately 18 months through to 18 years. 

We currently work with a range of schools in the Adelaide Hills and Murraylands by providing school-based Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapist services. This works for the child and their family, to not disrupt their school and weekly routine.

We may already work at your child’s school. Get in contact with us today.

Group Sessions

Time 2 Talk’s groups use neurodiversity-affirming practices. This means we use a strength-based approach. We accept and celebrate your child’s individual differences while equipping them with tools to participate in positive social interactions. We offer a range of social activity-based groups such as Teen Girls Social Group, Thrive Girls Group, and Ready to Learn Group. These sessions are a fantastic opportunity for children to:

    • Build connections and social skills with peers

    • Build on problem solving skills

    • Work towards individual goals

    • Play and engage with peers

    • Support their language development

Group sessions also tend to be more cost-effective, allowing more clients to access services.

We run these groups during the school holidays and also during the term time.

@Home Kits

At various times throughout the year (e.g January/July School Holidays) we offer “Time 2 Talk @Home” therapy packs that can be purchased. These packs are designed by Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists and include a number of activities that help work on your child’s goals at home.

The packs focus on the following skills: building vocabulary, following directions, reasoning and problem-solving skills, recall and narrative skills, asking and answering questions, social communication, fine motor skills and executive functioning. Our @Home packs follow a theme, our previous themes have included Cooking, Science, Garden and Summer.

Autism & Autism and ADHD Assessments

From January 2026, in conjunction with Banksia Assessments, Time 2 Talk will be offering Autism, and Autism & ADHD Diagnostic assessments for children and teenagers at the Time 2 Talk clinic. We are very delighted to be able to bring this service to local families in the Adelaide Hills.

Our assessments are conducted collaboratively by Dr Hannah Whittall, Clinical Psychologist from Banksia Assessments, and Alison Mather, Senior Speech Pathologist from Time 2 Talk, and they will work together to provide neuroaffirming assessments that help families better understand their child’s neurotype, strengths, differences and needs.

Ages we offer assessments for:

- 3-16 years old - Autism Assessments only

- 7-16 years old - Autism and ADHD Assessments

Cost:

- $2,000 - Autism Assessment*

*prices may vary, please enquire directly to us.

We're so pleased to be partnering with another local Adelaide Hills business to make these assessments more accessible for families in our community. This partnership allows us to deliver a high-quality, multidisciplinary service close to home.

We currently have a short waitlist so if you'd like to enquire about assessment availability, referral pathways, or what the process involves, please get in contact with us today.
