Allied Health Assistant
We also have the option of an Allied Health Assistant (AHA) at a reduced rate, which may be suitable for clients who would benefit from additional support to work towards their Speech Pathology goals. If this is something you feel may be beneficial, we can discuss this further with the family to see whether it would be an appropriate fit
