• Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): We introduce and support the use of AAC systems, including speech-generating devices and picture communication symbols, for children who struggle with verbal communication.

• Feeding and Swallowing (Dysphagia): Our therapists assess and treat difficulties with eating, drinking, and swallowing to ensure safety and nutritional well-being.
Our Assessment Process
We begin with a thorough assessment to understand the child's specific needs. This may involve parent questionnaires, observations, standardized testing, and informal assessments. Our goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the child's communication profile to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Therapy Approach
Our therapy sessions are engaging, child-centred, and designed to be fun and motivating. We work collaboratively with parents and caregivers, providing practical strategies and activities that can be practiced at home to support the child's progress. We believe in empowering families to be active participants in their child's therapy journey.
