Social Skills & School Readiness
Build interaction, pre-literacy and communication skills that support preschool and kindergarten.
Signs to watch for
Common reasons parents seek an assessment
Few words or slow word growth
Using fewer words than expected or not adding new words steadily.
Not combining words
Still relying mainly on single words when short phrases would be expected.
Hard to understand
Family or other listeners often struggle to work out what the child is saying.
Difficulty following simple instructions
Everyday requests such as getting shoes or bringing an item are hard to follow.
Communication frustration
Getting upset or giving up because they cannot make themselves understood.
Limited play or connection
Reduced pretend play, pointing, gesturing or interaction with other people.
School-aged children
Speech, language and literacy support for learning and friendships
School-age therapy targets the spoken and written communication skills behind classroom participation and social confidence.
Speech Sounds, Fluency & Voice
Support clearer pronunciation, smoother speech and healthy voice use.
Understanding & Using Language
Build expressive and receptive language, storytelling, conversation and group participation.
Reading, Writing & Spelling
Support decoding, spelling, reading comprehension and written expression with structured approaches.
Signs to watch for
Where difficulties may show up at school
Unclear speech
Listeners often ask the child to repeat sounds or words.
Following instructions
Multi-step directions need frequent repetition or get missed.
Word finding & retelling
Ideas are hard to organise into words, stories or clear explanations.
Reading & spelling lag
Difficulty decoding, spelling, reading fluently or understanding what was read.
Stuttering
Speech includes repetitions, stretched sounds or moments of getting stuck.
Social communication
Joining conversations, taking turns or navigating peer interactions is difficult.
