Who we Help

We have additional training to support children who have complex communication needs. If you're worried about how your child is communicating, or not yet communicating, you're in the right place.

The right support

Late talkers

Children who are slower to start talking than their peers or have difficulties understanding and following instructions. They might need extra support with their expressive and receptive language skills.

AAC users

Children who communicate using AAC systems including: electronic communication devices (including LAMP, TouchChat, Proloquo2Go, Core First, PODD), PODD books, and alternative access methods (including eye gaze, auditory scanning, and visual scanning).

Unclear speech

Children who have motor speech difficulties, including Childhood Apraxia of Speech. We use evidence-based assessment and intervention tools to support their speech, including ReST, DTTC and Nuffield programs.

What we do

Our niche

We've chosen to focus on key areas of speech pathology support in our practice. Our team works with children in key areas where we can make the biggest difference for clients and their families.

Language development

Building the words, sentences, and understanding children need to express themselves and make sense of the world around them.

Speech clarity

Helping children speak more clearly so they can be understood by family, teachers and friends, not just the people who know them best.

AAC & communication devices

Supporting children to use alternative communication tools, including PODD systems and electronic speech-generating devices.

Play-based therapy

Using play, the way children learn best, as the foundation for building real, lasting communication skills.

  • Everything we do is grounded in current research. We keep learning so your child benefits from the best available approaches.

  • We're a small, close-knit practice. You'll notice the difference from your first contact.
