Community Projects
At Keira Stone Speech Pathology, we pride ourselves on engaging with innovative and inclusive community projects. We understand that the best outcomes for children come from empowering the people around your child and their commuity.
Triage project – waitlist services
Keira Stone Speech Pathology is working to improve access to speech pathology services in South Australia.
There is significant concern in South Australia (and we expect in Australia) about waitlists for allied health services, predominantly speech pathology and occupational therapy.
The evidence is growing that waiting for early intervention services does have an impact on children and their families when they “wait” for extended periods of time for services they seek, or, in other words, they do not have access to the early intervention support that they would like to engage with.
At KSSP we are implementing trials to alleviate this for our infants to 7-year-old cohort, with the hope that we can expand this to more services and eventually reduce the immediate demand for 1:1 intervention.
We are looking for expressions of interest from parents/ carers of children aged 0-7 years old to access fee-free group services to access parent and carer information groups for childhood speech, language and mealtimes. These groups will explore typical developmental information, what to look out for and staregies to support speech, language and mealtime development.

Playground communication boards
Keira Stone Speech Pathology has proudly partnered with local council representative’s for Light Regional Council and Gawler Council to create aided language boards to be included in eight local playgrounds.
These projects were executed in three phases which included a consultation period. Temporary communication boards were used to gather information and feedback from local residents. This feedback was included in the final stage of the boards design and placement within in the playground.
Do you have a space you would like to see an aided language board in ? reach out , we routinely work with many stakeholders to create a board for your space ! email hello@keirastonespeechpathologyaustralia.com today.
