Speech and
Language Therapy
Why was my child referred to Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy plays a crucial role in addressing a spectrum of challenges that may affect a child’s communication and overall development. These challenges can present in various forms, including difficulties with articulation, language comprehension, expressive language, social communication, fluency, voice, and feeding/swallowing.
A child may be referred to speech therapy if they exhibit delays or difficulties in communicating effectively, expressing their thoughts and ideas, understanding language, engaging in social interactions, or participating in age-appropriate activities such as reading, writing, and play.
Our team of speech and language therapists (SLT’s) collaborate closely with children, their families, and other professionals to conduct comprehensive assessments, set individualised goals, and implement evidence-based interventions, aimed at enhancing communication skills, promoting social interaction, and improving overall quality of life.
At our practice, we are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based speech therapy services that empower children to communicate effectively and reach their full potential.
