Speech therapy is beneficial for:

WHEN SHOULD YOUR CHILD HAVE A SPEECH AND LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT?
Early intervention is crucial for speech and language development. If you notice that your child has difficulty pronouncing sounds, limited vocabulary for their age, problems understanding instructions, or difficulty forming sentences, it is worth consulting a speech therapist. Early therapy combined with exercises and appropriate techniques gives the best results. Our speech therapists use evidence-based methods to support your child’s communication development.
What does a speech and language assessment look like?
• The assessment of a child by a speech and language therapist always begins with a detailed interview with the parent. Caregivers will be asked about the reason for referral, description of symptoms, and how long they have been present. Parents should also provide information about the child’s development, feeding habits, and sucking and swallowing reflexes.
• The specialist will ask about the child’s habits — manner of feeding, preferred foods, and oral motor development.
• The assessment includes evaluation of:
– Speech sound production
– Language comprehension and expression
– Oral motor function
– Auditory and visual perception
– Motor coordination
• Finally, the speech therapist will provide a diagnosis and individually select appropriate therapy methods. Regular follow-up sessions are scheduled to assess treatment progress and adjust the therapy programme as needed.
