We come to you, where therapy can happen at your child's own cosy environment.
We work with your child’s educators/teachers to ensure goals are also achieved in their natural learning environment.
We provide online speech therapy (telehealth), for those where distance can become a barrier. Telehealth offers an option for children who feel more comfortable and confident learning through technology.
If you, or others, find it hard to understand your child's speech compared to their peers, or if your child is having difficulty pronouncing certain sounds, it is recommended they have their speech sound development evaluated.
Are you unsure if your child is reaching their communication milestones, or using words effectively for their age? We provide learning strategies for both you and your child, and equip you with skills to better assist their early language development.
This refers to the understanding of spoken words. It includes your child’s ability to understand the meanings of words (vocabulary), concepts, questions, and to follow verbal instructions.*
This refers to your child’s ability to share their thoughts, ideas, and feelings using spoken words and sentences.*
*Both receptive and expressive language skills are important foundational skills for future reading ability. Seek support if possible delays in your child's language development is noted.
Stuttering affects the flow (fluency) and ease of talking. It may present as unplanned breaks (blocks), repetitions or stretches (prolongations) of sounds and words, and sometimes accompanied with extra body and facial movements. Stuttering can start suddenly or gradually. If you are concerned about your child’s fluency, contact us.
Children develop a variety of pre-literacy skills in preschool to get them ready to learn to read, spell, and write later at school. These include understanding the structure of words (syllables and sounds), letter-sound correspondance, as well as knowing the features of books and understanding simple story sequences. It is recommended to seek assistance early if you have concerns about your child's pre-literacy skills.
Learning to read, spell, and write constitute a big part of the children’s primary school life. Literacy difficulties can present as struggling with recognising the sounds in words to read, putting sounds together to spell, slow/effortful reading, not understanding what they read, and putting ideas into written texts using a range of words. If any of these sound like your child, it’s never too early to seek support from us.
Would you like to know how you can support your child’s communication preferences? We can help.
An accent occurs when sounds from your first language affect the pronunciation of sounds in your second language. Sometimes, an accent can impact the fluency of speech or how easily others can understand an individual's communication. If this sounds like you or your adolescent child, we can help.
