Speech Pathology

Speech pathology supports children and adolescents with challenges in communication and swallowing.

At our practice, licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs) provide comprehensive assessment and therapy to help young clients speak more clearly, understand and use language effectively, engage in social interactions, manage voice concerns, and eat and drink safely.

Helping Your Child Thrive

We work with children experiencing:

  • Delays in speech development or difficulty forming sounds

  • Language comprehension or expression difficulties

  • Social communication challenges, including those related to autism

  • Stuttering or other fluency issues

  • Feeding and swallowing concerns

  • Conditions such as Down syndrome, cleft palate, or developmental delays

Our aim is to strengthen your child’s communication skills and confidence, whether in the classroom, with peers, or at home.

Clinical Focus Areas

  • Speech Sound Disorders: We support children with articulation difficulties, phonological delays, and childhood apraxia of speech, helping them produce sounds more clearly and confidently.

  • Language Disorders: Therapy targets delayed language development and challenges with understanding or expressing ideas, whether spoken or written.

  • Fluency Disorders: We help children who stutter or clutter, improving the rhythm and flow of their speech.

  • Voice and Resonance: Support includes concerns with pitch, volume, and vocal fold function, ensuring healthy and effective voice use.

  • Social Communication: We build pragmatic language skills, especially for children on the autism spectrum, to support meaningful interactions with others.

  • Swallowing (Dysphagia): Therapy addresses feeding and swallowing safety, helping children eat and drink comfortably and without risk.

  • Cognitive-Communication: We assist with attention, memory, and problem-solving skills that impact everyday communication and learning.

Our Therapeutic Approach

We offer personalised, evidence-based therapy tailored to each child’s needs. Our team collaborates closely with families, educators, and healthcare providers to ensure consistent support across settings.

Services are available in our clinic and through school-based partnerships, always delivered with compassion and a child-centred focus.
