Children's Speech Pathology

Why Early Intervention Matters

Early intervention can make a world of difference. The earlier we support your child’s speech and language development, the better their outcomes — not just for talking, but for learning, friendships, and wellbeing. Our therapists collaborate closely with families, educators, and other health professionals to ensure your child gets the best possible start.

Our Services

We offer assessment and therapy for a wide range of communication difficulties, including:

Speech sound disorders: Trouble with pronunciation, clarity, or making specific sounds (such as lisps or stuttering).
Language delays and disorders: Challenges with understanding or using words and sentences, following directions, or expressing ideas.
Literacy difficulties: Support for reading, spelling, and written expression, including early literacy skills and school readiness.
Social communication: Helping children who struggle with social skills, making friends, or managing conversations (often seen in children with autism spectrum disorder).Fluency and stuttering: Strategies and support for smooth, confident speech.
