Speech Pathology Services
We are a ‘Speech Pathology’ practice with a difference, where the Principal Speech Pathologist is also a fully qualified Primary School Teacher.
Talking In Steps Speech Pathology opened in 2002 by Fiona Ann. The Practice originally started from Fiona’s home and quickly grew as a result of the success of her clients and word of mouth reputation. Fiona completed her degree in 1997 and before opening the practice, made sure she had a range of experience and expertise within all areas of speech pathology in order to offer the best services to her clients.
The practice now has two locations.
- Our main head office: Conveniently located quiet close to the T-Way, the building faces ‘The Horsley Drive’ at Suite 3, 12-16 Daniel St, Wetherill Park. Ph: 9757 1388
- Alternate Office: West Hoxton Area at the ‘All Care Medical Centre’, outside Carnes Hill Shopping Centre
Opening hours
We understand that as parents you may be working or busy and may be unable to attend therapy during school hours or after school. For this reason we have as many as three speech pathologists who work on Saturdays. We also understand that keeping an early Saturday appointment would be difficult during the sporting season, and during times where there are other family commitments. For these reasons we offer Saturday appointments till 5pm
| Appointment Day | Times | Appointment availability |
| Monday to Friday | 9 am to 5 pm* later appointments are considered | Yes |
| SATURDAY appointments | 8.00 to 5 pm | Yes |
About us
Talking in Steps prides itself on having skilled staff where we regularly attend and offer professional development. We offer modern therapy equipment, assessment tools and computer resources. We have the latest computer therapy programs to create interest and an alternative way of learning. Our aim is for your child to enjoy learning. We measure our success by our client’s success so we strive to provide realistic goals and alter our therapy style if we need to.
The practice has a reputation of excellence and continues to grow largely from word of mouth referrals. The Speech Pathologists at ‘Talking in Steps’ strive to achieve communication and academic potential regardless of the issues. A great deal of time is spent in setting therapy goals and planning for your child’s session. We take pleasure in working together as a team with professional relationships that we have established over the years and also within our own allied health therapy team. This is something new that we offer. For more information, visit ‘The One Stop Clinic’ menu located above.
For our parents and carers of a child with autism or developmental delay, we want them to remember one thing: our motto…
“Tiny Steps Achieve Major Goals“

3. Our One Stop Clinic 
For your convenience, Talking in Steps has created ‘A One Stop Clinic’ for parents whose children who often need to visit more than one allied health professional in order to get the best results from therapy. We understand when your child needs to see another professional and that you as busy parents may often need to drive from one place to another eg Occupational Therapy, or Psychology. For your convenience we have created this service and have also developed a system to stream line the referral process within and between health professionals at the centre.
