Speech Assessment
Kids and Cubs Clinic offers speech pathology assessments for children aged 0-16 years old in Sydney Balmain. A speech pathology assessment will investigate any range of concerns regarding your child’s communication and will diagnose any existing communication difficulties.
Therapy for Toddlers and Preschoolers
Speech therapy for toddlers and preschoolers is designed to be engaging and fun, using play-based activities to help your child develop their communication skills. Here’s a breakdown of how it typically works:
Therapy for School aged children
Speech therapy for school-aged children focuses on helping them improve their spoken and written communication skills, which can be crucial for their academic and social success.
Articulation and Lisp
Pronunciation difficulties in children can be quite common and are part of the normal development process. However, when these difficulties persist beyond a certain age, they indicate a speech sound disorder.
Understanding and Using Language
Language delays in children can be concerning for parents and caregivers, but understanding the types, causes, and treatments can help manage these challenges effectively.
Literacy, Reading and Spelling
Speech pathologists play a crucial role in supporting literacy, reading, and spelling in children. We offer assessments, interventions, and preventative measures.
Stuttering therapy
Stuttering refers to the involuntary repetitions or pauses in speech. Stuttering can present as sound, syllable or whole-word repetitions (e.g. “Can I… can I… can I….?”), and/or pauses with and without audible airflow.
Communication Devices (AAC)
Fussy Feeding
Fussy eating can present as restricted food preferences. These preferences can affect eating different food groups, tastes, shapes, colours and textures.
