Eastside's Therapists for Children With Additional Needs
Helping children with additional needs requires therapists with not only terrific skills but also positivity, practicality and empathy. Our staff at Eastside Speech have all worked extensively with children with special needs.
- Pronunciation & Articulation: Helping your child form clear speech sounds in words.
- Language Expression: Exploring words and phrases with a focus on how they use them to express their thoughts.
- Language Comprehension: Building receptive language skills; this includes understanding instructions and language concepts.
- Fluency: Learning to speak more smoothly and without stuttering.
Children with such difficulties often have underlying speech movement problems that benefit from PROMPT therapy. We are also experienced in using Key Word Sign Australia as a means to facilitate the development of communication in children with little speech or speech that is difficult to understand.
At Eastside we liaise closely with your child’s early intervention provider, specialists, teachers and other therapists to contribute to a team approach to your child’s therapy and progress.
