About Us
At Good Earth we believe that communication is a basic human right and every person should have an easily accessible and respected way to communicate.
We are an neurodivergent led business and have a neurodivergent team who understand the importance and strength of difference in experience, thinking and learning.
We provide neuroaffirming Speech Pathology support through a strengths based and trauma informed lens.
We support participants with a variety of complex communication needs from age three and up. We currently accept referrals from self managed or plan managed NDIS participants or private fee paying clients.
Good Earth Therapy is a child safe trained and prioritised organisation.
How we deliver our services
There is no 'one way' for therapy as every client is different. We are proud to offer flexible and tailored support. Below are some ways we can do this:
Peer or Group based therapy
We are passionate about linking in our clients with those who have shared interests or connecting them with other neurodivergent peers with similar goals. We have a strong belief in groups being a comfortable place for people to practise their own communication style in a natural setting and do not agree or align ourselves with traditional 'social skills' training.
We currently facilitate an adult communication group and are beginning a literacy based group for young struggling readers (stay tuned!).
1:1 Therapy
We currently run our 1:1 therapy sessions in blocks of 6-8 weeks. This allows time for reflection of client focused goals, where we discuss a plan of action that could include more therapeutic input via 1:1 sessions or another mode of delivery such as parent capacity building.
Carer sessions
We understand that communication with key people in our participants life is the best way for therapeutic support to occur. This could include parent or carer upskilling sessions and support worker, teacher or educator strategic meetings.
Where we deliver our services
Everyone is different and we recognise that there are barriers and preferences that may impact our clients ability to attend clinic based sessions. We are passionate about delivering flexibility of location.
