Welcome to Foundation First Speech Pathology

 

My name is Sarah Moran (B.Sp.Path; MSPA; CPSP). I am a neurodivergent speech pathologist and business owner working in the Maitland, Kurri Kurri and Newcastle areas as a fully mobile therapist. I believe in holistic, individualised therapy that prioritises family and client-centered practice.  I'm passionate about advocacy, capacity building, and neuro-affirming therapy. 

I'm also passionate about balance and rest. I provide services during school terms. If you require more intensive therapy, you may like to consider an alternative service.

I provide services for children and young adults who:

are neurodivergent

are autistic

have intellectual or cognitive disabilities

have Down Syndrome

have feeding disorders and challenges

have swallowing disorders

who use AAC to communicate

have specific learning disorders

have a language disorder
