Speech
We offer expert services in assessing and treating speech clarity and articulation. Our assessments can pinpoint whether your child's speech sound development is on or off track. We develop therapy plans to achieve functional results, fast, and offer affordable options so that no child has to miss out.
Language
We support the understanding and use of language to help kids participate confidently at home and at school. We can assess your child's vocabulary use, their ability to apply grammatical rules, sentence structures and social communication skills. We provide personalised therapy to build on skills, support learning and foster social connections.
Literacy
We assess reading and writing skills, including phonological awareness, decoding, spelling and comprehension. Our therapy is tailored to strengthen these skills, support progress through the school curriculum, and build confidence through evidence-based and practice approaches.
