Frequently asked questions

What is Speech Therapy?

Speech Therapy is assessment and treatment of communication and speech disorders, delays and associated difficulties. It involves using techniques, strategies and activities to improve communication and speech skills.

What is the difference between speech and language?
A down arrow

Speech involves the production of sounds that are used to create words such as ‘p’ in ‘pig’. Language is how someone expresses their message and how they understand what other people are saying. For example, people may struggle with structuring their sentences or understanding instructions.

What is involved in a session?

The initial session will involve gathering background information about the client and appropriate assessments depending on the presenting concerns. Following sessions will target the goals established after the assessment with the help of family and carers.

Can I bring family members into the appointment?

Of course! We encourage family members or carers to attend the sessions so they can participate which improves the client’s engagement and helps them know what to practice at home to help reach their goals quicker.

Where is your clinic located?
