Who we work with
We work with children from three months to 18 years +. Toddlers, preschoolers, primary school-aged and secondary school students are all welcome. Support is tailored to each child’s individual needs and developmental stage.
Below are some examples of children across the lifespan that we commonly see for assessment or therapy:
3 month old baby diagnosed with hearing loss- to support their early speech and language development, including providing parents and caregivers with language promotion strategies and expertise with use of hearing aids, cochlear implants and other devices. Providing early intervention to maximise their future listening, speech and language skills.
1 year old diagnosed with cleft palate- helping them to develop all speech sounds correctly following surgery and monitoring their future speech and language development.
2 year old toddler late to talk (using single words only)- to use and provide parents and caregivers with strategies to support their child’s development of language to become age appropriate. We may also investigate the reason for a delay in language acquisition.
3.5 year old with unclear speech- assessing their speech articulation and helping them to produce speech sounds that are incorrect or unclear. There are some types of speech errors that are normal at this age, professional guidance is required to determine typical Vs atypical speech development.
5 year old diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)- working on social skills, social language and play.
7 year old with difficulty using pronouns, tense and plurals and unable to follow simple instructions- assessing their speech and language and working on areas of need within an everyday and educational context.
8 year old having difficulty learning to read and spell- assessing where their specific difficulty lies and working on developing a solid foundation in phonics0p-
14 year old with a genetic condition resulting in speech and language disorder- working on developing their overall communication skills and ability to advocate for their needs and regulate their emotions. Assisting them with understanding and using educational language.
