For Schools
Onsite speech-language therapy for schools in Sandton and Johannesburg.
Bring speech therapy onto your campus, without the logistics falling on you. Connected Speech is a private speech-language pathology practice that partners with schools across Sandton and Johannesburg, delivering sessions in your classrooms and therapy spaces, on a day that suits your timetable.
Sessions are run by Jodi Zimmerman, a single dedicated therapist your staff and families get to know by name. No rotating roster. No handover gaps. Consistent, specialist support from someone who is genuinely invested in your learners.
Everything your learners need. None of the administration.
On your campus
Therapy happens in your classroom or a quiet space you provide. No travel, no missed lesson time, no parents chasing appointments across the city.
Free screenings
Group or individual screenings for learners of concern, at no cost and with no commitment attached. A clear picture of who needs support before any sessions begin.
Specialist in AAC
Deep expertise in complex communication needs, Makaton, PROMPT, and augmentative devices. Not only articulation. The right support for every learner on your roll.
Medical aid handled
Claims are submitted directly to families' medical aid funds on their behalf. Parents are not left to chase paperwork, and your admin team is not involved.
Support for the communication challenges that affect learning.
From early language delays to complex communication needs, we work with learners at every stage and with every profile. All services are delivered on your premises, within your school day.
Five steps from first contact to sessions on campus.
-
A short call
We start with a brief conversation to understand your learners' needs and your timetable. No forms, no paperwork. Just a conversation.

Free screenings

A schedule is set
A simple weekly onsite schedule is agreed on, Monday to Thursday, built around your timetable and the needs of your learners.
-
Sessions begin on campus
Therapy happens at school. Medical aid claims are submitted directly to families' funds. Your admin team is not involved.

Clear progress reporting
Progress is reported clearly to you and to families at every stage. You always know how your learners are doing.
A specialist who knows what schools need.
Jodi Zimmerman spent four years embedded in a government school for children with autism before founding Connected Speech. She understands the realities of a school environment: the timetable pressures, the range of learner profiles, the importance of working alongside educators rather than in isolation from them.
Her master's degree specialised in Augmentative and Alternative Communication, with research into youth empowerment and participation for learners with disabilities. She brings that depth of knowledge into every school she works with.
