Speech Therapy

 

Speech therapy is so much more than working on speech. The majority of my practice focuses on establishing and developing successful communication - a skill that is complex, nuanced and enables us to feel connected and build relationships.

Communication doesn’t develop in a bubble and ensuring that skills are considered within the context of the family and school is essential. This is to make certain the child is putting the effort into developing skills that are going to work for them in the real world. It is key that establishing new skills relating to communication feels enjoyable particularly when this is an area a child or young person finds difficult. Learning needs to be fun and worth the effort!
