What is it

Speech therapy helps children and adolescents (up to 18) build the speech, language, communication and feeding skills they need to be understood, connect with others and thrive at home, school and in the community — through fun, evidence-based sessions in our centre, at home or in school.

Who it's for

Children who are late to talk, hard to understand, working through stuttering or social-communication challenges, or facing picky eating and feeding difficulties — from toddlers through to teens.

Speech therapy FAQs

Questions parents ask

Unclear speech is one of the most common concerns parents raise. Some sound errors are typical at certain ages, but if you often find yourself translating for your child, or others struggle to understand them, a speech assessment can bring clarity either way.
Every child develops at their own pace, but persistent delays in first words or combining words are worth exploring. Early support builds language foundations and reduces frustration for your child. We can guide you on whether to "wait and see" or "check in".
Yes. Our speech therapists use approaches such as the SOS Feeding Approach and oral-motor therapy to support children with picky eating, difficulty chewing, drooling and sensory sensitivities around food.
