Eastside Speech Solutions

Caitlin Jones was my therapist, she was interested, realistic, attentive and encouraging. I really enjoyed working with her and each week her exercises were tailored to what was possible and a then stretched a little more. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

My children (ages 7 and 11) currently see Ainsley and Emily for their respective speech and language challenges.

I can’t thank Ainsley and Emily enough for their collaboration (between therapist and parent) in goal setting and approaching speech therapy in a positive, relevant and creative way. Our sessions are always pre-planned and are very much tailored to the kids’ individual needs and interests. The therapists are always respectful, professional and caring.

Thank you to the team at Eastside Speech Solutions for their ongoing support over the years and meeting my kids where they're at in development.

Caitlin and the Team at Eastside Speech were wonderful in assisting my daughter with correct sound development prior to starting school. Caitlin was highly professional, engaging, thorough and so much fun! The sessions were well planned, varied and tailored to my daughter's interests; she loved going to 'play' at speech, while gaining the language skills she needed. I couldn't recommend Caitlin and the team highly enough.

Thank you for taking the time to come and visit our service today and support all of our families and children.
It is so lovely to be apart of a community that supports their community.
We can not wait to work with you again.

We can not thank Eddy enough for the work she has done with our Daughter over the past few months.

I am truly grateful, my Daughter is a completely different child and everyone comments on how much she has progressed from last year.

Eddy equipped me with tools to help progress my Daughter between lessons, she knew exactly what to work on and how to incorporate tasks that I could complete with my Daughter at home.

My Daughters confidence to speak now is unbelievable. She struggled to complete one word sentences to now continuous talking and asking questions constantly

She has made friends because she can communicate.

Eddy gave our family a gift that no amount of words could express our appreciation.

Eastside speech provides a beautiful service, and are changing lives for the better.

I would highly recommend this service.

Thanks again Eddy for all your help

Hi, I could not thank Edwina enough for the work she has done with my son. I am truly so grateful, my son is a completely different child and everyone comments on how far he has come. I now mention he did speech and some speech pathologist cannot believe it and comment on how good he is and that his speech pathologist did an amazing job. Edwina equipped me with tools to help progress my son between lessons, she knew exactly what to work on and now to incorporate tasks that I could complete at home with my son. My son’s confidence to speak now is unbelievable. From where he started from basically saying one word sentences to now continuous talking and comprehending and asking questions. Now he has friends because he can communicate, Edwina gave myself and my son a gift that no amount of words could express our appreciation. My son misses visiting Eddy’s house and cries when we drive past. Eastside speech provides a beautiful service, and are changing lives for the better. I would recommend this service to everyone I know without a doubt.

Just completed our first session and honestly have never been more happy with a business as a whole.
From my first point of contact Anna to our new therapist Tina, everyone has been so kind and I cannot wait to see the progress

Highly highly recommend! Ainsley and her team are the reason why my daughter can speak! Her specific therapy and intervention has achieved outcomes for our daughter beyond what we thought was possible. Professional, evidence based practise and therapists who care for our girl. Life changing for our daughter and optimistic for her future now she can communicate a lot better than before. We are so grateful to have been recommended to come to Eastside.

Thanks so much to Edwina. She is an engaging and talented Speech Pathologist. She understands children and knows how to get the best from them. The clinic staff were all very friendly and helpful.

The whole process with Eastside was really good. After I made the initial inquiry there was good communication and a prompt response re: sourcing a suitable therapist for my daughters needs, arranging the appointment and the session with speech therapist Elizabeth Barty was excellent.

The therapist is always well prepared for the session and the amount of thought and planning put into preparing is very evident. The therapist is caring and passionate about helping children communicate and this is obvious in the gentle and effective strategies employed, The therapist explains the rationale behind the strategies and listens attentively and answers any questions I have.

We recently had Eastside speech solutions come and do a free speech screening for children in our pre school room.
I cannot speak more highly of how personalised, organised and seamless the entire process was.
We are very thankful to have found such a professional and nurturing company to work with.

I saw Ainsley Poulos for a first consultation and had an excellent experience. She had a professional and welcoming manner which made it very easy to share everything. She was able to explain what was happening and the different ways we could resolve the problem as well as ways I could be supported at work during the mean time. Thank you so much to the team at Eastside Speech Solutions.

I have been on so many waiting lists around my local area for the past 4 months with no luck of securing an appointment. Within a day of making an enquiry with Eastside, reception returned my call and booked us in. Staff were so welcoming and the first meeting with our therapist Kalliope was such a positive experience for me and my son. It's usually really challenging whenever we go anywhere and I'm just so appreciative of the time she took to make him feel settled and I could tell he warmed up to her very quickly. We drove 1hr each way to get to our appointment today and for me, it was totally worth the drive! We will be coming back for weekly sessions and I will definitely recommend Eastside to family and friends!

Eastside Speech Solutions were quick to identify our speech issues, and in the first session gave us a clear understanding of what therapy would involve and how it works. It has been a very effective course of treatment and in a relatively short period of time our four year old is almost free of his stutter. The staff are lovely and I cannot recommend them too highly.

When my son and I first walked through the door at ESS, Anna made us feel very welcome. We then hit the jackpot when we met with Eddy, my son was put as ease by her caring/kind nature and her sense of fun with learning. Eddy was very knowledgeable and we knew our son was in great hands. A great first experience, which has made us want to continue for further sessions.

My sister-in-law recommended this speech practice. The team at Eastside were professional and caring from the first phone call I made. Having a child with multiple issues can be extremely daunting and I can't recommend them highly enough. From my first meeting with Ainsley she was understanding and insightful to my son's issues, which were complex. We were given a plan of what we were to expect from treatment and our objectives. Appointments ran on time, we made ground each week and our sessions were fun, my son didn't realise how hard he was working! Ainsley and our family worked as a team to achieve a great outcome.

Terrible - more than 12 months and over $5000 for the therapist to tell us "its not working".

Nothing but praise for the team at Eastside Speech. They worked with us to achieve a brilliant result. Thank you!

Ainsley has helped my four children with various issues over the past few years. She is caring and professional. Highly recommended.
