Our Services
We provide a range of services specifically for children residing in Petts Wood, Orpington, and the immediate surrounding areas within our operational scope:
1. Speech Sound Disorders (Articulation and Phonology): We help children who have difficulty producing specific speech sounds correctly and consistently. This includes sounds that are typically acquired at certain ages or are part of a child's unique speech pattern.
2. Language Impairments: Our therapists assess and treat difficulties with understanding spoken and written language (receptive language) and expressing thoughts through spoken or written language (expressive language). This can impact vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and understanding instructions.
3. Social Communication: We support children who struggle with the skills needed for successful interactions with peers and adults. This includes understanding non-verbal cues, taking turns in conversation, understanding different contexts, and using appropriate language for social situations.
4. Stuttering: We provide assessment and therapy for children who stutter, helping them develop strategies to manage disfluencies and build confidence in their speaking abilities.
5. Feeding and Swallowing Difficulties: Our therapists can also assess and provide therapy for children experiencing difficulties with eating, drinking, or swallowing, ensuring they receive adequate nutrition and hydration safely.
6. Pre-school Assessment: We offer assessments for children typically aged 3-5 years to identify potential delays and recommend appropriate next steps.
7. School-Based Assessment: We provide assessments for school-aged children to support their educational needs and facilitate appropriate support within the school setting.
Our assessment process begins with a thorough consultation to understand the child's history and concerns. We then conduct formal assessments using standardised tools and observations to diagnose specific areas of need. Based on the findings, our therapists create a highly individualised therapy plan with clear goals and strategies tailored to the child's unique profile and family priorities.
We believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with parents, caregivers, and where appropriate, schools and other professionals involved in the child's life. We provide regular feedback on progress and actively involve families in the therapy process, offering practical strategies to support communication development at home.
