Speech Therapy
Our team of dedicated Speech Pathologists believe that every child’s voice should to be heard, be it verbally or non-verbally. That every child should have the opportunity to socialise and make friends through communication and participation in mealtimes. Our Speech Pathologists provide assessments, advice and support to improve speaking and understanding, non-verbal communication, literacy, eating, drinking and swallowing.
How Speech Therapy can help
- Help children to communicate by having the means to express needs, wants, thoughts, ideas and feelings
- Provide alternative methods of communication if your child is unable to speak or be understood by others
- Improve your child’s ability to understand what others are saying or express what they would like to say
- Improve intelligibility of speech so that what your child is saying is understood by others
- Help with school readiness such as learning to read, problem-solving and social skills
- Improve safety for swallowing and mealtime issues such as feeding and fussy eating
- Increase quality of life, self-esteem and independence
- Increase participation in everyday activities
