Speech and Language Pathology
Speech and Language Pathologists help children to develop communication skills, including understanding what others are saying or communicating and being able to deliver a message using words or other means.
Our Speech Pathologists can help with the following:
- Speech: helping children to pronounce words so that they can be understood by others.
- Language: helping children to develop vocabulary, sentences, recount events, tell stories and use language to learn and connect with others.
- Comprehension: helping children to understand what is being said around them, to follow instructions and to understand questions and comments.
- Social language: helping children to connect with others, to play and to exchange thoughts and ideas and have conversations.
- Stuttering: helping children to speak fluently without stuttering.
- Voice: assisting voice quality and volume.
- Reading: Speech pathologists can assist with pre-reading skills (phonological awareness), knowledge of phonics and gleaning meaning from text.
- Written language: Speech Pathologists can help children with spelling, vocabulary, story writing and expressing ideas in text.
- Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC): we can support in all areas of AAC including development of natural gesture, Key Word Sign, assessment and training in low-tech and high-tech communication systems.
- Eating and Swallowing: our speech pathologists can assist children who have difficulty eating and swallowing food or have a limited range of foods they eat.
