Starting School or Kinder Next Year?

  • Will your child’s communication skills be effective?
  • Do others find your child’s speech difficult to understand?
  • Are they becoming frustrated?
  • Early intervention and treatment is key
  • Communication is vital to life

20% of four year old children have difficulty understanding or using language.

Children with language impairment are six times more likely to have a reading problem than children without.

Speech and Language difficulties can affect learning at school including literacy, numeracy and interacting socially with other children.

Stuttering is associated with anxiety from a very early age.

Early assessment and intervention are vital to maximise a child’s potential.

A sociable child is a happy child!

If your child doesn’t sound clear, mispronounces sounds or words, stutters, isn’t following instructions, is becoming frustrated with communication then we can help.
