Our Child Speech Therapy Services are accessed as individual one-one-one therapy sessions or through one of our Intake Pathways
Intake Assessment (Speech & Language)
An intake assessment is the standard intake pathway to therapy. During intake, our Speech Therapist (ST) conduct an brief assessment to gauge your child’s speech, language and communication skills. Our ST will also take history from caregivers to get a better understanding their concerns.
Social Communication
This pathway helps identify the specific areas a child might be struggling with. The programme is designed to support the young person to understand what they can do to better socialise with peers.
Developmental Language Disorder
A Speech and Language Therapist will work with the child and parents to understand the developmental concerns and target specific language needs.
Stammering
A Speech and Language Therapist will work with the child to increase their knowledge of stammering and will help them to begin to accept their stammer in order to reduce any negative thought cycles.
Speech Sound Delay/Disorder
Children who present with speech sound difficulties might be unintelligible, even to familiar listeners. A Speech Therapist supports the child with their ability to communicate and interact with those around them, as well as requiring remediation of their specific difficulty.
Verbal Dyspraxia (Childhood Apraxia)
This treatment pathway targets speech production and focus on helping the child achieve the best possible intelligibility and comprehensibility. Where there are concerns that oral communication is not adequate, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (also known as AAC) is used to provide functional communication.
Auditory Processing
The goal of intervention is to provide the individual with the ability to communicate more effectively in everyday contexts.
Hearing Impairment Enrichment
This pathway is a bespoke course of intensive speech and language therapy targeting specific goals which address a child’s functional communication needs.
