Our Speech Pathology Services
Our services include individual assessments and therapy, group programs, home programming, community visits and liaising with associated health professionals, to help children overcome a diverse range of communication difficulties.
Speech refers to the movement of the tongue, lips and jaw that create sounds used to produce words. Some children have difficulty producing clear, easy to understand sounds.
Language refers to the ability to understand and use meaningful, well-structured sentences to communicate to others. Deficits in language can affect an individual's ability to communicate effectively.
Late talkers include toddlers who have limited spoken vocabulary and are not yet catching-up to their peers in language skills, despite being age-appropriate in other areas.
Pre-literacy skills form the foundation of learning how to spell, read and write. These skills include recognising the sounds in spoken language, and knowing that words can be broken down into smaller sound units.
Voice disorders involve the pitch, loudness and quality of the voice. Strategies can help strengthen vocal quality, and plays a crucial role in helping individuals regain and maintain healthy, functional voice.
Communication is more than just verbal language. Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) supports communication by offering printed visuals, PODD books and devices.
