About
Little Stepping Stones
Holistic speech therapy and occupational therapy to empower your child
At Little Stepping Stones Allied Health Centre, every small achievement and progress your child makes is worth celebrating—because these “little steps” build the path to lifelong confidence and independence.
Founded in Melbourne, we specialise exclusively in paediatric speech therapy and occupational therapy for children aged 0 to 15, providing evidence-based assessment and therapy tailored to each child's interests and their functional goals.
We support your child in achieving their full potential by improving their independence and confidence in everyday life skills through our holistic and family-centred services.
We recognise and advocate for neurodiverse children's needs and embrace their strengths and interests. We pride ourselves on empowering our clients and caregivers to take steps towards their goals.

Why Parents Love Our Approach
Holistic & Personalised Support
We believe in comprehensive therapeutic support for the ideal outcome, which is why we offer varied therapy approaches, from 1:1 therapy, joint speech and occupational therapy sessions, to structured small groups.
We recognise neurodiverse children's needs and embrace their strengths and uniqueness when developing a support plan.
Prepare for Future Milestones
We plan and communicate with teachers and other staff to prepare your child for big steps like starting school.
We check in regularly with you even after the therapy sessions to ensure everything is going well.
Culturally Sensitive Team
We understand the role of culture in the success of our support plans. Our staff are sensitive to the needs of different family cultures.
Our team is also fluent in Cantonese, Arabic, Greek and Mandarin.
Family & Relationship Focus
We guide you to understand your child's needs and help build stronger family connections.
We respect parents’ decisions about whether to get an official diagnosis for their child. We focus on positive outcomes without pushing for labels.
