Our Story

Est. 2014

Pearson Allied Health Services was established and started providing NDIS services January 2014. With the help of several family members, Karen Pearson established Pearson Allied Health Services after working as a Senior Speech Pathologist at Disability SA and GP Plus spanning over 5 years and after working as a sole trader during the NDIS South Australian “trial site” period from 1st July 2013 (children under 5).

Karen’s passion combines a diverse knowledgebase with a wealth of experience from working with children, teenagers and adults with disabilities in both the Government and Private Sectors. Karen’s motivation for starting Pearson Allied Health Services, was to provide people living with disabilities and their families with the type of service that she wanted when she required Speech Pathology services for two of her own children. This motivation underpins our goal to provide a high quality, person, and family centred service throughout South Australia.

With the commencement and rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme in South Australia, people living with disabilities and their families now have the freedom and flexibility to choose service providers that best meet their individualised needs. By providing a high-quality service and meeting the unique and individual needs NDIS participants under the scheme, Pearson Allied Health Services has expanded from Karen working as a sole trader to a diverse, multidisciplinary team of staff, with a range of unique skills, strengths and backgrounds, providing a broad range of services and supports.

We are excited to be a part of the continued rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme in South Australia and to continue working with South Australians with disabilities to ensure they get the supports and services they need to live an ordinary life, which the NDIS describes as:

“An ordinary life is a life where you have the same opportunities as people without a disability. An ordinary life is one that is typical or usual for everyone in modern day Australia. It’s a life where you can pursue your potential and participate in society on an equal basis with others”.
