How We Can Help Your Child
We work with children across a wide range of speech and language needs. All therapy is evidence-based and tailored to each individual child and family.
Articulation Disorders
Children who are difficult to understand
Articulation therapy helps children learn to produce specific speech sounds correctly. Whether your child substitutes sounds (saying "wabbit" instead of "rabbit"), omits them, or distorts them, targeted therapy can make a significant difference to how clearly they can be understood.
What to Expect
Sessions focus on teaching the correct position of the mouth, lips, and tongue for each sound, then practising that sound in words, sentences, and conversation. Parents receive home practice activities to reinforce progress between sessions.
Ages
From age 3 upward
Language Delays
Children who understand or say less than expected for their age
Language delay can affect how well a child understands what others say (receptive language) and how well they express themselves (expressive language). This includes vocabulary size, sentence length, and the ability to follow instructions and answer questions.
What to Expect
Therapy is tailored to each child's specific profile. We work on building vocabulary, expanding sentence structure, improving understanding, and developing narrative skills. Parent coaching is a key part of the approach.
Ages
From 18 months through primary school age
Stuttering & Fluency
Children who repeat sounds, syllables or words, or get "stuck"
Stuttering is a neurological difference in how the brain coordinates speech. It can involve repetitions, prolongations, or blocks. Early intervention leads to much better outcomes. For young children, we use the evidence-based Lidcombe Programme, delivered in partnership with parents.
What to Expect
For preschoolers: parent-delivered Lidcombe Programme sessions, with weekly clinic visits to guide progress. For older children: fluency strategies, communication confidence building, and addressing any anxiety around speaking.
Ages
From age 2 through to teenagers
Late Talkers
Toddlers who are saying fewer words than expected
A late talker is a young child who has a small vocabulary but is otherwise developing typically. Some late talkers catch up on their own; others benefit from early intervention. Assessment helps determine the best course of action — and early support leads to better outcomes.
What to Expect
A comprehensive assessment to understand your child's communication profile, followed by either monitoring with parent strategies or direct therapy. We equip parents with practical tools to boost language at home during everyday routines.
Ages
Typically 18 months to 3 years
Social Communication
Children who find social interaction challenging
Social communication involves the unwritten rules of conversation — knowing when to speak, how to take turns, reading facial expressions and body language, and adapting how you speak to different people. Difficulties in this area can make it hard to make and keep friends.
What to Expect
Therapy focuses on understanding and applying social communication skills in real situations, using a mix of explicit teaching, role play, and guided practice. Strategies are shared with families and schools to support generalisation.
Ages
From preschool through to secondary school
School-Age Language
Children struggling with classroom language demands
Language difficulties don't always look like speech problems. Older children may struggle with reading comprehension, telling stories in a logical sequence, understanding complex instructions, writing, or keeping up in class discussions. These are all language skills.
What to Expect
Assessment to identify the specific language areas affecting school performance, followed by targeted therapy addressing narrative skills, inferencing, vocabulary, and curriculum-linked language. Close liaison with teachers when helpful.
Ages
Ages 5 to 12+
Not Sure Which Service You Need?
That's completely normal. The best starting point is an assessment, which will help us understand your child's specific needs and recommend the right approach.
