SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY FOR CHILDREN

I offer a range of Speech and Language therapies and services for children of school age to young adults. 

Parents, educators, health professionals may be concerned at any point of a child's development regarding speech, language or communication needs and raise these concerns with a Speech and Language Therapist. Some of the more common things they might ask or raise concerns about include:

​

  • Why is my child late in talking?

  • My child is finding it hard to make and maintain friendships

  • People can't understand what my child is saying to them

  • My child finds it hard to follow complex instructions

  • He does not understand inference or jokes

  • My child is getting easily frustrated

  • They find it hard to concentrate in class or need help to organise themselves 

  • My child needs a device to support their speaking
