Speech Therapy Group Sessions in Blacktown

At Word Stars Speech Pathology, our speech therapy group sessions in Blacktown are designed to help children develop communication, social interaction, and confidence in a supportive small-group environment.

Group therapy provides structured opportunities for children to practise real-life communication skills with peers while being guided by experienced speech pathologists.

Group Therapy

Speech Therapy Group Sessions supports children to:

Build social communication skills
Practise turn-taking and conversation
Develop storytelling and narrative skills
Improve confidence speaking in front of others
Feeling unheard or uninformed about the therapy journey

Learning alongside peers helps children generalise skills more effectively than one-to-one therapy alone.

Preschool Playgroup

Play, connect, and communicate — together.

Our early intervention playgroup gives preschoolers the chance to build play and communication skills alongside peers — while parents learn tailored strategies to support their child at home. Small groups, big gains.

Play N Chat Group

Social connectedness and school readiness all wrapped up in one.

For children aged 4-6, this group focuses on social connection and collaboration through carefully designed activities and evidence-based strategies.

A focus on personal storytelling using photos of children’s own experiences, bolsters language skills while creating authentic social connection.

Big School Buds

A group focused on the essential oral language and early literacy skills needed for classroom success.

This thoughtfully designed, evidence-based group provides rich and frequent language and early literacy teaching, ensuring that children with communication difficulties enter the kindy classroom with confidence.

Storytelling Group

Stories are crucial for human communication – we connect through stories. For kids who struggle to tell you what happened during their day or share the plot of their favourite movie, this group is a winner! Through fun and engaging story-based sessions, children build skills in sequencing, vocabulary, using more complex sentences and perspective-taking.

Not only do we see improvements in children’s stories, we see growth in written expression, reading comprehension, and social skills.

Neuro-Affirming Social Groups

Learn about neurodiversity and build real-world social understanding.

In these unique groups, we explore neurodiversity, self-advocacy, and social communication through games, discussions, and reflective activities. Children learn about their “brain superpowers,” and parents/teachers learn how to support them in everyday settings.

Paragraph Writing Group (Telehealth)

Turn ideas into well-structured paragraphs — from the comfort of home.

This small-group online group teaches students how to plan, organise, and expand their written ideas using evidence-based frameworks. Perfect for upper primary and high school students who find writing overwhelming.
