Frequently Asked Questions

No. A diagnosis is not required to begin speech and language therapy. We assess the patient's needs and begin intervention based on their communication profile.

To begin:

1. Book an assessment.
2. Receive a detailed report and recommendations.
3. Start a tailored therapy plan.

Therapy duration varies for each patient. At Omonx, intervention packages are tailored to individual needs, goals, and rate of progress. Support may be short-term or longer-term.
