Our team of qualified and experienced Speech and Language Therapists specialises in identifying and addressing difficulties with speech sounds, language comprehension and expression, fluency, voice, and social communication skills. We understand that every child develops at their own pace, and our role is to provide expert support when needed.
Our Assessment Process
The journey often begins with a comprehensive assessment. We conduct thorough evaluations to understand the child's specific challenges. This may involve gathering developmental history, observing communication skills, formal testing of speech clarity, language abilities (both understanding and using language), and assessment of social communication and interaction. Our assessments are designed to be child-friendly and informative, providing a clear picture of strengths and areas for development.
Personalised Therapy Plans
Following assessment, we develop individualised therapy plans in collaboration with parents/caregivers and, where appropriate, schools. These plans are tailored to the child's specific needs, goals, and interests. Our therapy approaches are evidence-based and engaging, designed to promote lasting change.
We offer a range of therapy modalities:
Articulation and Phonology Therapy: Targeting difficulties with producing specific speech sounds. Language Therapy: Addressing delays or disorders in receptive (understanding) and expressive (using) language. Stuttering/Fluency Disorder Therapy: Helping children manage disfluencies and build confidence in their speaking. Voice Therapy: Assisting with voice production issues. Social Communication Therapy: Developing skills for understanding social cues, conversational skills, and navigating playground interactions.Our goal is to empower children to communicate effectively, build confidence, and participate fully in their lives within the Petts Wood community.
