Speech Centre

You might be finding that your child is not communicating like other children their age, is falling behind at school, or just not quite fitting in. It is really important to investigate and understand the root of these problems, to identify if these are normal or need to be addressed straight away.

We know of too many parents and educators who have struggled to navigate this journey, after receiving confusing and often contradictory advice.

We have worked with hundreds of children to identify the underlying contributing factors to their communication and/or learning difficulties, to ensure an effective management plan is developed, their weaknesses are overcome, and their quality of life is enhanced.

Some of the areas we treat include:

  • Language
  • Speech and Articulation
  • Social Communication
  • Literacy
  • Executive Functioning

Language

Language:

Language refers to speaking, writing and making gestures. Children need to use and understand language to be successful communicators. Some important language skills include: building sentences, using vocabulary, answering questions and following instructions.

How we can help:  

We identify the gaps in your child’s language skills, to build your child into a clear and confident communicator.

Speech and Articulation

Speech and Articulation

Speech refers to how your child produces sounds when they talk, and can impact how clear and understandable they are to others.

How we can help:  

We will identify which speech sounds your child is having difficulty with, and teach them to express these sounds clearly. This will help your child become easily understood by others, and get their points across without confusion!

Social Communication

Social Communication

Social communication skills are needed to use appropriate verbal (e.g. conversation skills) and nonverbal (e.g. body language) language in social situations, including during social interactions.These skills are often difficult for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

How we can help:  

We will focus on explicitly improving verbal and non-verbal skills that are difficult for your child, to help them develop positive self esteem and social relationships.

Literacy

Literacy

Literacy involves learning how to read, spell, write, and comprehend text.

How we can help:  

We will work through a successful step by step program to close any gaps in your child’s literacy development, to enable them to develop a love for reading and writing!

Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

Executive functions are a set of cognitive skills that control the learning pathways in the brain; including planning, working memory, processing speed and flexible thinking. These skills act as the “CEO” of the brain and are important for successful learning, socialising and communicating.

How we can help:  

We specialise in working memory and processing difficulties, by targeted and effective brain training activities. Improvements in these cognitive skills result in long-lasting gains in communication, learning and social skills.
