Speech Pathology
At Little Fox Children's Therapy, we understand that communication is a vital part of a child's development. Our speech pathology services are designed to help children overcome speech and language difficulties so that they can communicate effectively and confidently.
Our team of highly qualified and experienced speech pathologists works closely with children and their families to develop individualised treatment plans that address their unique needs. We use evidence-based approaches to provide comprehensive assessment and therapy to improve speech, language, and communication skills.
Our speech pathologists can work with your child to:
- Develop their understanding of language.
- Say their first words and/or combine words to make sentences
- Produce clear and accurate speech sounds
- Develop alternative communication skills for children who are nonverbal or have limited verbal communication skills. We are trained in a variety of alternative methods such as high-tech AAC devices and other low-tech options.
- Improve their ability to express their thoughts, ideas, and emotions by expanding their vocabulary, developing their grammar skills and/or their narrative language skills.
- Speak more smoothly and fluently by reducing their stuttering
- Understand their social communication profile: At Little Fox Children's Therapy, we approach social communication from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective, which means that we recognize and celebrate the diversity of different neurological profiles and the inherent value of each individual. We aim to create a safe and inclusive space where children can feel empowered and supported as they navigate social situations. We work with children by empowering them to communicate in a way that feels natural and comfortable to them.
- Enhance literacy skills needed to read and write effectively
- Enhance overall communication skills.
The ultimate goal of paediatric speech pathology is to help children communicate more effectively and confidently in all areas of their lives.
We also offer parent education and training, as well as consultation with other professionals involved in a child's care.
We are committed to providing compassionate, effective, and evidence-based speech pathology services to help children reach their full potential. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help your child.
