Speech Pathology at Kids+
Kids+ Speech Pathologists can help with understanding and support for all things communication and swallowing. These are big areas, so to break it down, speech pathologists can support;
Speech- the way we say sound;
Using language- the words we think about and express to get our messages across;
Listening and understanding language- understanding the words we hear or see;
Using different forms of communication- gestures, sign, communication books or symbols, electronic communication devices;
Swallowing food and drink safely, this includes breast and bottle feeding.
Literacy- the skills needed to spell, read and write;
Interaction- communicating with others to form connections;
Voice- the quality of sound that comes out when we speak;
Fluency- stuttering
Why is Speech Pathology different at Kids+?
We love to support young people with things that matter most to them, and get parents and partners involved to support in a meaningful way. Speech Pathology at Kids + can look like individual or group sessions, recommending tools such as Augmentative and Alternative Communication methods, supporting community participation at school, childcare, kindergarten and/or education and training for communication and mealtime partners.
Speech pathology assessment and treatment at Kids + considers all areas of a young person’s development and how they impact on communication and swallowing, including posture, tone, sensory processing, cognition, cardio-vascular and respiratory and gastrointestinal. We would love the opportunity to support your child and family.
