What to Expect<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nWhen our therapists visit your home for your child’s first appointment, they will perform both formal and informal assessments tailored to your child’s age and specific needs. This approach helps us accurately determine the areas where your child requires assistance.\r\n

After this initial home visit, you can arrange for regular follow-up sessions with the same speech therapist right at your doorstep. This continuity not only ensures convenience for your family but also significantly enhances the effectiveness of the therapy.<\/p>\r\n

Additionally, our therapist will design a customized program for your child<\/strong>, which includes exercises that can be practiced at home between visits. This continuous engagement is crucial for steady progress. Should your family wish to be actively involved in the therapy process, our therapists are ready to equip parents with effective strategies and skills to support and supplement your child\u2019s therapy at home.<\/p>\r\nWe offer attractive discounts for our follow-up package bookings and our speech therapists are available every day, including weekends and bank holidays. <\/strong>You can easily book our services through our online booking system for your convenience.\r\n\r\nIf you’re located outside our home visit coverage area or currently abroad, our Online Speech Therapy Consultations for children offer a convenient solution. Accessible from anywhere, these sessions provide the same high-quality care as face-to-face appointments but with added benefits. Online therapy<\/a> is not only more cost-effective and flexible, but it also significantly reduces waiting times for appointments and is generally very effective even with smaller children.\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Can We Treat<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\nWe assess and manage children with the following conditions:\r\n\r\n

Main Language Disorders<\/h3>\r\n

Articulation Disorders<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

An articulation disorder is the inability to properly form certain word sounds. A child with this speech disorder may drop, swap, distort, or add word sounds. An example of distorting a word would be saying \u201cthith\u201d instead of \u201cthis\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

Resonance Disorders<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A resonance disorder occurs when a blockage or obstruction of regular airflow in the nasal or oral cavities alters the vibrations responsible for voice quality. It can also happen if the velopharyngeal valve doesn\u2019t close properly. Resonance disorders are often associated with cleft palate, neurological disorders, and swollen tonsils.<\/p>\r\n

Receptive Disorders<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

A person with receptive language disorder has trouble understanding and processing what others say. This can cause you to seem uninterested when someone is speaking, have trouble following directions, or have a limited vocabulary. Other language disorders, autism, hearing loss, and a head injury can lead to a receptive language disorder.<\/p>\r\n

Expressive Disorders<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Expressive language disorder is difficulty conveying or expressing information. If you have an expressive disorder, you may have trouble forming accurate sentences, such as using incorrect verb tense. It\u2019s associated with developmental impairments, such as Down syndrome and hearing loss. It can also result from head trauma or a medical condition.<\/p>\r\n

Stammering & Fluency Disorders<\/h3>\r\n

Stuttering, also known as stammering<\/a> and dysphemia, is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words, or phrases as well as involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the person who stutters is unable to produce sounds.<\/p>\r\n

Stuttering and cluttering are fluency disorders. A fluency disorder affects the flow, speed, and rhythm of speech. A person with stuttering has trouble getting out a sound and may have speech that is blocked or interrupted, or may repeat part of all of a word. A person with cluttering often speaks very fast and merges words together.<\/p>\r\n

Dysphagia & Swallowing Difficulties<\/h3>\r\n

Dyspaghia is otherwise knowsn as any difficulty with swallowing, eating and drinking. This can be caused by a variety of factors in childhood. Our therapists can help identify the cause and help each child to swallow safely and effectively.<\/p>\r\n

Autism Spectrum Disorder<\/h3>\r\n

Autism spectrum disorder can affect a child\u2019s speech, social communication skills, their ability to understand others and their ability to express what they are thinking or feeling appropriately. Autism is classed as a spectrum disorder and therefore the severity and diversity of difficulties may differ between children.<\/p>\r\n

Aphasia & Apraxia<\/h3>\r\n

These are an acquired communication disorder that affects a person\u2019s ability to speak and understand others. It also often affects a person\u2019s ability to read and write.<\/p>\r\n

Aphasia is when a person has a problem understanding or using words. This can make it hard to speak, read, or write. But apraxia is when someone has a hard time making the movements to speak because of a problem with their muscles.<\/p>\r\n

Cognitive-Communication Disorders<\/h3>\r\n

Difficulty communicating because of an injury to the part of the brain that controls your ability to think is referred to as cognitive-communication disorder. It can result in memory issues, problem solving, and difficulty speaking, or listening. It can be caused by biological problems, such abnormal brain development, certain neurological conditions or a brain injury.<\/p>\r\n

Selective Mutism<\/h3>\r\n

Selective mutism is a social anxiety disorder that causes children to only talk in certain environments or to certain people. Speech therapy can support children in overcoming these difficulties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Currently available in London and Greater London<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

When do children need Speech Therapy?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

There are many situations where a child might be in need of a speech therapist. It is very important to pay attention to your child’s language development in order to identify any difficulties on time and ensure targeted interventions to provide the child with the help they need. Sometimes a kid has a medical condition that makes speaking harder. Our therapists are experienced in working with a range of communication impairments including:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
