We’ll connect you with expert speech pathologists
The team at HeyHubble can connect you with local speech pathologists with experience working with autistic people. If you are autistic, a speech pathologist can work with you on any speech or communication goals you might have. For example, they can work with you to develop language skills, assist with augmentative and alternative communication, or improve your social skills and confidence. Speech pathologists are a helpful support for both autistic adults and children.
Covered by the NDIS
You can use your NDIS plan to work with allied health professionals who you meet on HeyHubble. The NDIS is responsible for funding allied health and other therapy services related to a person’s disability - this includes speech pathology (sometimes called speech therapy). You can access speech pathology if you have the funding category ‘Improved Daily Living’ within the Capacity Building Budget in your NDIS plan.

- Reading and writing
- Confidently and effectively communicating in different social settings
