Speech Pathology
Supporting children and teens to become the best version of themselves.
What is Speech Pathology?
Paediatric speechies are your go to people to assess and provide support to children experiencing difficulties with communication and feeding.
Communication
There is much more to it than meets the eye… Communication, when broken down has many steps and components including speaking, hearing, understanding, responding, reading, writing, and voice. We also use lots of non-verbal communication including facial expressions, body language, gestures and more.
Feeding
Speechies play an important role in assessing and managing oral motor difficulties associated with feeding. If your mealtimes are a battle, have comfort in knowing that we can provide you with support to improve your feeding experiences.
Assessments
We use both informal and formal assessments to gain a better understanding of how we can help your child. Assessment sessions are usually between 60 – 90 minutes. We like to use this time to develop a holistic understanding of your child and how we can work with you and the other professionals involved in your child’s care.
Therapy Sessions
Each therapy session is tailored to your child’s needs and interests. We have access to a large range of toys, games, and equipment to help engage your child in play-based therapy. We encourage parents to sit in on sessions so we can provide you with tips and tricks to help your child at home.
