Children & Young People
We are able to support children and young people with all communication difficulties and diagnoses. Our therapy is fun and meaningful, ensuring they reach their potential.
Our assessments enable us to identify if a child would benefit from therapy and, if so,
the best approach for their specific difficulties.
Language has many components to it, all interacting with each other. Children may find it harder to understand language, and/or use it in certain contexts. We establish areas to work on with children in therapy, and also make sure there are immediate communication strategies to support their wellbeing, learning and social development in the interim.
There are sometimes wider developmental differences which create communication needs as a consequence. We meet children where they are, understand their motivations and desires for communication and create space for them to develop their communication using whichever means works best for them.
Our approach to support children who stammer is a mixture of management strategies, environmental support and psychological approaches. Therapy supports them as an individual, you as a family and increases confidence in social communication environments.
It is typical for toddlers to go through a 'picky' phase with their eating; however, for some this continues, can cause anxiety and nutritional concerns. Our approach is to understand the child's feelings and concerns about certain foods and create a safe space to work behaviourally to increase the variety of their diet. Therapy is fun (and sometimes messy!)
