What we specialise in
Speech Sounds
Phonological processes or errors are patterns of sound errors that are common in a child's speech as they learn to speak. While these patterns are a normal part of speech development in young children, they typically disappear as a child's speech develops. Speech errors differ as these are errors or deviations from intended speech that may be due to a variety of factors such as articulatory differences, language disorders or tongue placement. Speech errors can present in a variety of ways.
Fluency (Stuttering)
Stuttering is characterised by disruptions in the normal flow of speech. There are 3 different types of stuttering, including Repetition, Prolongation and Blocks. Stuttering can be hereditary (i.e., ‘run in the family’) and is prevalent in young children between the ages of 3-4 years. The exact cause of stuttering is unknown.
Receptive & Expressive Language
Expressive language refers to the ability to express thoughts, ideas, and feelings through spoken or written words. Receptive language, on the other hand, involves the ability to understand and interpret spoken or written language. This includes comprehending vocabulary, grammar, and the nuances of communication, such as sarcasm and figurative language
