Specialist Speech Services

We offer comprehensive assessment and therapy for a wide range of childhood speech disorders.


What We Treat

  • Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS):
    Motor-based assessment with intensive intervention.
  • Inconsistent Speech Sound Disorders:
    Therapy to stabilise speech patterns and improve intelligibility.
  • Articulation & Phonological Difficulties:
    Support for lisps, substitutions and sound errors in words.
  • Integrated Speech & Early Literacy Needs:

Evidence-Informed Methods

We tailor intervention using established programs, including:

  • Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets (PROMPT) – gentle touch cues to help the mouth me for clearer speech.
  • Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) – repeated practice with step-by-step support to say words.
  • Rapid Syllable Transition (ReST) - practise made-up words to improve natural, smooth speech.


Assessment & Goal Setting

Assessment includes standardised tools, speech sampling and dynamic tasks to set clear, functional goals.
