Our Focus: Assessment and Therapy
At Articulate Kids, we specialise in two core areas:
Assessment: Our qualified therapists conduct thorough assessments to identify the specific nature and extent of a child's communication difficulties. This involves gathering detailed developmental history, observing the child, and using standardised and non-standardised tests. A comprehensive assessment report will be provided, outlining our findings and recommendations.
Therapy: Based on the assessment results, our therapists develop individualised treatment plans. These plans are designed to target specific goals identified by parents and professionals. Our therapy sessions employ evidence-based techniques to help children improve their articulation (speech sounds), fluency, voice, language comprehension and expression, pragmatic (social communication) skills, and literacy development. We work collaboratively with parents/carers to ensure consistency and success both in our sessions and at home.
