Engaged Learning
We specialise in
Late talkers
For toddlers who aren’t yet using many words or phrases. We support first words through parent strategies and daily routines.
Language
How children understand others & express themselves. We support vocabulary, sentences & comprehension through play & structured tasks.
Speech clarity
Speech is how clearly children say sounds and words. We support clarity by building speech sounds, and addressing oral motor and feeding issues.
Stuttering
When a child repeats sounds, words, phrases or gets stuck speaking. We use positive reinforcement through the play-based Lidcombe Program.
Looks at how your child interacts socially. We offer joint-same day autism assessments with a speech pathologist & clinical psychologist for all ages.
What parents are saying
My daughter had an autism assessment here. It was very quick to get an appointment and Saffira was great at assessing her needs, and able to ask questions to get the correct diagnosis and the best profile of what our daughter will benefit from in the future. Our daughter was actually quite comfortable in the space although that was her first time there, so that’s a plus because she’s usually very slow to warm up to new people and spaces. This lets me know the space felt safe to her, which was good for getting an accurate assessment. I would definitely recommend anyone needing a thorough autism assessment go to Saffira, she made us all feel very comfortable every step of the way 🙂

We have met Saffira during the process of having our son assessed for asd. She has been really professional and supportive through the whole process being able to give the best guidance and advice through all different steps and also offering support to us as parents at the start of our journey with a diagnosis. We can’t thank her enough for all she has done for us and will definetly be recommending to others that may need her professional services.
Fabrizio Baglio
I took my son for an ASD assessment. They were able to fit us in within a few weeks. They professionals involved were warm and inviting. My son felt very comfortable in the space. Thank you.
Lee Sutherland
My son enjoys his sessions with Saffira she always makes sessions fun and has good engagement with him. The clinic is a child friendly environment and my son is comfortable while he is there. It is also of benefit the advice she gives and the things we need to work on at home.
Brenda Dougherty
Saffira is warm and friendly to her young clients, instantly putting them at ease and eagerly engaging in therapy sessions. The therapy room is well set up to feel comfortable and safe, and the sessions themselves are fun. She has built a great rapport with my son in a very short time and he looks forward to his sessions with her.
Erin McCormick
Such a welcoming space to make children feel comfortable quickly. Very interactive activities with clear demonstration and practise incorporated into the session, to make reciprocating at home easier to implement. We have enjoyed the sessions.
Emma Toon
We have had the pleasure of working with Saffira for my child, and we couldn’t be happier with the results we have already seen in such a short time. Saffira is not only kind and patient but also incredibly dedicated to helping children improve their speech. Saffira quickly identified the specific areas where my child needed to work and develop, her tailored approach has already made a noticeable difference in my child’s communication skills. I highly recommend the Online Speechie for anyone seeking speech therapy services.
Michelle Lemzouri
Saffira was recommended by a professional colleague to conduct an assessment on my daughter. The communication from her and her admin team was prompt and informative. My daughter was comfortable with her, she is friendly and professional. Her office space is welcoming and parking was a breeze. I would recommend her services to colleagues and friends.
Erin Isbister
Saffira was recommended to us by a mutual friend and we are so glad we found her. We completed an assessment with Saffira to assist us with our sons expressive language delay. She was professional, welcoming, kind and empathetic in her approach. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Safira and her team.
Kayla Evans
Safirra is professional and makes the assessment fun and comfortable. Valuable information and advice were provided to the child with special needs accessing OT, SP, NDIS review. I can’t be thankful enough for Safirra’s kindness and help during this difficult time to us.

The process
Get started by filling out our referral form. We’ll usually schedule a free 15-minute phone chat to see if we’re the right fit and possibly book your first appointment.
Initial appointment/assessment
We’ll play with your child to build a connection and get to know them. We’ll observe their skills through play and formal assessments to identify areas of need. We’ll also talk with you to gather more about your child’s strengths and challenges.
Assessment summary & recommendations
We’ll provide a summary with key findings, any applicable diagnoses and a plan—usually a few weeks after. We will discuss therapy options that fit your family’s schedule.
One-one-one therapy sessions
Parents and children usually attend together so we can teach techniques to use at home. Sometimes we’ll run parent-only sessions for personalised training—especially for the littlies! Sessions may be play, routine-based, or structured.
Provision of home programs
If suitable, we may offer a home program with check-ins (e.g. monthly, bi-monthly, termly), instead of weekly therapy, tailored to your child’s needs and your family’s routine.
