Speech
Language
Language can be learnt at different rates in children. However, if children miss language development milestones, they are regarded as having a language delay. If a language delay is ongoing or does not go away, it might be a sign of a language disorder. A child with a language delay or disorder could have trouble expressing their ideas and thoughts (expressive language) or understanding instructions and questions (receptive language).
Literacy
Social Skills
Fluency
Fluency refers to the continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort of speech production. The most common fluency disorder is stuttering, a speech disorder that causes interruptions in the rhythm or flow of speech.
Parent Support
Parent engagement is being positively involved and active in your child's development. Your commitment to follow up at home will play an integral role in the treatment process. When families, schools and speech language pathologists work together, children are equipped for exponential progress. Get invloved in therapy sessions and we will coach you on the best practices to help your child achieve.
