What we specialise in
There are some classifications that you may have become aware of when looking into speech therapy for your child. We have the qualifications, experience and drive to help with all of the following.
Social communication difficulties
The term social communication difficulties refers to children who may have difficulty using language in different social contexts. Children with social communication difficulties may be at a higher risk of social, emotional and behavioural problems.
Speech sound difficulties
Some children have difficulty saying certain sounds and words past the expected age of development. They may present with articulation problems (making certain sounds) or phonological problems (a pattern of sound mistakes).
Bilingualism
The term therefore encompasses ‘multilingualism’, which is the knowledge
and/or use of several languages. The languages include:
- Spoken Languages
- Sign Languages
- A combination (Lillo-Martin et al, 2014)
the languages that they are exposed to.
Language disorder
Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) may have significant and ongoing difficulties understanding and using spoken language. This occurs in all languages that the child speaks.
Children with learning difficulties may struggle to understand complex spoken language, to express themselves clearly and may have difficulties using language for social purposes. They may also have difficulties with reading, writing and spelling.
Learning difficulty
Selective mutism
Selective Mutism is a severe anxiety disorder which makes it hard for some children to speak in certain social situations such as with classmates or relatives they do not see very often. It usually starts in childhood and if left untreated, can persist into adulthood.
