What We Do
Speech and language disorders in early years can have a detrimental effect on child’s communication abilities and cause various problems such as academic issues, delayed social skills, and emotional problems in later life.
Language Delay/ Disorders
Language helps your child interact with people and conveying their thoughts and emotions to everyone around them. Language disorders has an impact on child’s ability to understand and interact with the outside world. It may affect their ability to understand simple instructions, comprehend stories, express their basic needs and vocabulary growth.
Speech Sound Disorders
Speech production refers to the ability of a child to produce speech sounds clearly and speak intelligibly. To articulate sounds correctly, the child needs to coordinate the movements of structures such lips, tongue, jaw, and teeth precisely. Difficulty in producing speech sounds might have an impact on speech clarity or intelligibility.
Stuttering
Stuttering, or more colloquially referred to as “stammering”, is a fluency disorder in which a child’s ability to produce fluent, free flowing speech is affected by repeated movements and fixed posture of the speech mechanism.
Stuttering is normally seen in children aged 3-5 years and can continue in adults age, if not treated correctly.
Literacy
Literacy refers to the child’s ability to read, write, and spell. It involves phonological awareness, phoneme-grapheme correspondence (sound-letter relationship), sight word reading and ability to sound out words for spelling and reading. Literacy plays an important role in extending language learning into school years.
Learning disorders are characterised by difficulties in phonological awareness, reading words, sight word reading, writing, spelling, fine motor skills, and visual processing.
