Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)

DLD is difficulty talking and/or understanding language

DLD can be a ‘hidden’ difficulty. Sometimes it’s mistaken for a problem with behaviour or attention. It’s a lifelong condition that can have a big impact on friendships, learning at school and finding a job.

Speech Disorders

A lack of intelligibility can be a barrier to social engagement, education, employment and impact on self-esteem.

Common speech difficulties include:

Articulation disorder
Phonological disorder
Dyspraxia/apraxia of speech
Dysarthria

Social Skills

Social skills are vital for establishing and maintaining friendships. We also hold conversations and interact with the world around us. Younger children will play socially through play and need to be good play partners. This includes turn-taking, sportsmanship, and following the rules.

Early Intervention speech therapy is a precious asset for both parents and children, offering vital support to lay the essential groundwork for children's success in their academic and social endeavours.

Early Intervention can achieve:

Better outcomes
Improved self confidence
Eliminate potential behavioural issue

Literacy Skills

Literacy is the skills of reading, writing, and spelling. Literacy is important for everyday activities like learning, working, and communicating. Reading is essential for children and adults to participate fully in life, education, and learning.

Life Skills

In speech therapy and special education, it's crucial to teach practical life skills. These are the skills people need to life on their own, like taking care of themselves and staying safe.

Fluency - Stuttering

Stuttering affects the flow and ease of talking. People who stutter can have a hard time communicating as they might be more anxious about speaking.

Kids & Picky Eating

Picky eating is when someone doesn't want to eat foods they're not familiar with and avoids trying new ones. This can lead to a limited range of foods in their diet causing nutrition and general health concerns.

A voice disorder is when the quality, pitch, and loudness of your voice isdifferent from your 'usual' voice.

Common symptoms include:

Vocal fatigue
discomfort or pain in the throat

Periods of voice loss

Adult Dysphagia

Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder involving the mouth, throat, and oesophagus. Consequences of dysphagia include malnutrition and dehydration, aspiration pneumonia (chest infections), compromised general health, chronic lung disease, choking, and even death.

Adult Neuro

Neurological disorders may be sudden such as a head injury or surgery complication. They can also have a slower onset but get worse over time. Communication and swallowing can be impacted in both cases.

AAC

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is when a person uses something other than speech to communicate. People of all ages can use AAC if they have trouble with speech or language skills. Low-tech AAC is integrated into therapy. Devices can be operated by physical touch, switches, eye gaze, and more recently electromyography (EMG).
