Early intervention will provide your child with stimulating exercises and activities that target specific and age appropriate language goals. Intervening early can ultimately differentiate between a language delay and a language disorder.

Children often do not get the attention that they need being in a classroom and they therefore receive limited individual support. We assist in helping children who are struggling with articulation errors (E.g. wabbit/rabbit) as well as phonological errors (lellow/yellow) improve their overall speech. Language disorders can also occur in children, some occur with a known cause and some with no known cause. Some language disorders such as, a motor speech disorder can be treated using a specialized technique known as PROMPT, this assists the child to learn motor planning. Our therapists are PROMPT trained and are able to provide this service.

Swallowing disorders are common in individuals who have suffered neurological damage for example, individuals who have suffered a stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia or parkinson’s disease. Swallowing disorders can cause feeding and eating to be extremely difficult and uncomfortable.  Individuals with swallowing disorders are at severe risk for malnutrition and dehydration. Dysphagia can cause a negative experience around feeding time. This can further impact the way in which individuals feel about food and/or can cause food aversions. Speech therapy assists with alleviating these difficulties by providing swallowing rehabilitation, strengthening exercises and compensatory strategies.

As the suck-swallow reflex only develops at 34 weeks in utero, babies born before then may have poor co-ordination, poor endurance and present with a weak suck. This results in the neonate being at a higher risk for complications during feeding times. Speech therapy will provide the caregiver with the skills necessary to perform oral-motor exercises for the neonate, aiming to strengthen the suck and improve the endurance. We also provide further support to mothers by ensuring that they have a pool of information regarding feeding as well as providing breastfeeding support and advice.

Hearing is a vital part of communication. In children the ability to hear is critical for their development. Hearing precedes the development of speech and if a child cannot hear they will not be able to grasp language. I offer hearing assessments for individuals of all ages. The hearing assessment includes a visual inspection of the ear, testing of middle ear function as well as testing of cochlea function. This is important to identify If there may be a hearing difficulty present. Knowledge about your hearing status is vital. We are able to fit hearing, clean and repair hearing aids in the comfort of your own home.
