Helping you and your child

Ladybug House takes a holistic approach to therapy, empowering you and your child to become self-reliant.

What is Ladybug House

Ladybug House is a family owned paediatric allied health clinic with 2 locations in Melbourne and Gold Coast. We pride ourselves in providing effective, evidence-based therapy with a family-centred approach to children aged between 0-9 years of age. We are a neuroaffirming practice that embraces the strengths and uniqueness of neurodivergent children, with a focus on creating environments that support strong engagement within the home, school, and play environments.

How we can help you

We are a multidisciplinary team offering evidence-based early intervention services to your child. Our Speech Pathologists are all Certified Practising Speech Pathologists under Speech Pathology Australia and our Occupational Therapists are all registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and Occupational Therapy Board of Australia.

Speech Pathology

Our Speech Pathologists specialise in a wide range of speech and language needs including stuttering and developmental language delay.

Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapists work with your child to enable them to participate in the activities of everyday life.

Telehealth

We understand that it’s not always easy to attend in person. All our services can be offered via Telehealth.

Small Group Programs

Small Group Programs are a fun way for kids to develop skills to interact with their peers.

Assessments

We offer a range of comprehensive assessments to aid diagnosis and guide best treatment plans.
