Helping children and adults to be all that they can be.
Welcome to HeadStart Queensland, a not-for-profit located in the Western Suburbs of Brisbane, providing a mobile service to the Greater Brisbane region.
Our objectives are to provide services to children and adults with a Developmental Language Disorder and related disorders. This will be achieved through the development, support and education of people and their families through the use of best-practice principles.
Our professionals recognise that the best opportunity for our clients to achieve their potential is to work with a range of disciplines and their immediate support (families and carers) to provide a holistic understanding of their needs. Our mission is to help our clients to accomplish their goals and be all that they can be.
We use a range of techniques to individualise treatment for each client following evidence based practices.
