Speech Pathology
What is Speech Pathology?
Speech pathologists help people who have trouble understanding and talking with others. They help with speech sounds, stuttering, reading, spelling, and social communication.
How do I know if my child should have speech therapy?
You may notice that your child is having difficulty with their speech, or expressing their thoughts, wants or needs. Other people might find it hard to understand them, and this may cause your child to feel frustrated or become withdrawn.
Your child might have trouble understanding what others say. They might find social situations or engaging in the classroom hard.
Our speech pathologists can help children improve their communication skills so they can confidently engage with the world around them.
