Speech & Language Therapy is designed to help children who struggle with communication, language development, and speech clarity. This therapy addresses difficulties related to speaking, understanding language, expressing thoughts, and even social communication skills. Early intervention can significantly improve a child’s ability to engage with the world around them, enhancing both academic performance and social relationships.
Difficulty in developing speech milestones typical for their age, such as limited vocabulary or unclear pronunciation.
Issues with articulation, making it hard for others to understand the child (e.g., substituting sounds like saying “wabbit” instead of “rabbit”).
Trouble understanding or using spoken language effectively, including limited sentence structure or poor vocabulary.
Challenges in using language appropriately in social situations, such as difficulty with conversation skills, understanding sarcasm, or maintaining eye contact.
Our Speech & Language Therapists use evidence-based techniques tailored to each child’s unique needs. Therapy sessions are engaging, interactive, and designed to build confidence alongside communication skills.
Fun games and activities that focus on correct sound production.
Storytelling, role-playing, and vocabulary games to enhance understanding and expression.
Group sessions or one-on-one activities that teach conversation skills, turn-taking, and non-verbal cues.
Techniques to manage stuttering or voice disorders, including breathing exercises and rhythm control.
If your child is not meeting speech milestones, has difficulty being understood, or struggles with understanding language, it’s a good idea to consult a speech therapist.
Progress varies depending on the child’s specific needs, consistency of therapy, and family involvement. Some children show improvement within a few months, while others may need longer-term support.
