About Us
At Start Talking, we are dedicated to empowering children to build confidence with their communication. We believe access to in-clinic, Telehealth and mobile services, enables accessibility for families, as well as creates a safe space for our clients to achieve their best. We provide speech therapy services for children aged 0-18 within the Macarthur Area.
A Paediatric Speech Pathologist assesses, diagnoses and provides therapy for children with communication difficulties, specifically with the development of their language, speech sounds, literacy and social communication skills.
What is Paediatric Speech Pathology?
What can we help with?
-
Language refers to our understanding (receptive language) and use (expressive language) of language.
-
Speech sounds refer to the pronunciation or production of speech sounds. Is your child having difficulty articulating sounds, or substituting sounds with another?
-
Literacy refers to skills such as spelling, writing, reading and reading comprehension. It includes skills required for written communication.
-
AAC refers to alternative communication methods such as communication devices. We can assist with introducing and using a device for communication.
-
Social skills refers to interaction, conversation and play skills. We can support your child to build meaningful friendships and relationships.
-
Fluency refers to the flow, rhythm and rate of communication. We can support with increasing disruptions to fluency such as stuttering.
