Speech and Articulation for Children
A playful, holistic approach for children aged 4-8 with speech and communication difficulties.
Suitable for children who are waiting to see a Speech and Language Therapist.
Great for children who need to build confidence in communicating themselves in a public setting.
We work through repetition, games and simple group exercises in a small group setting.
Please drop me a line to arrange a chat.
We will do a short, private consultation where I can assess your child’s speech. What speech sounds are causing the difficulty? These difficulties can be physical or related to everyday life situations. I design an individual plan for each child which is integrated into the group class plan.
“Voice, for me, is an extremely vulnerable place. I tend to harshly judge every sound that comes out. To become aware of that has completely shifted my train of thought. That alone was invaluable”
