Service Overview
How Does Speech And Language Therapy work?
Speech therapy for children is most beneficial if administered at an early age. This is critical as there are specific windows of opportunity for the development of language skills. During particular periods in a child’s life, the brain is more active in forming connections to abilities – one of them being language skills.
The window of opportunity for language development not only is the best period between birth and six years of age but also the most sensitive age for acquiring skills such as distinguishing between the sounds of different languages and grasping syntax or grammar.
Speech therapy can be extremely effective in treating a broad range of speech and language problems. Speech therapy certainly benefits children with speech and language difficulties emotionally, academically and socially. They become more confident in communicating with others, enabling them to succeed better.

How It Works
What Happens During the Speech Therapy Assessment?
Our SLPs are champions of collaborative care and we look forward to assisting you and your child in their communication journey. Our therapy sessions are play-based, child-led, and focus on your child’s strengths. This may be in the form of:
- Improving your child’s ability to understand better and express themselves coherently
- Helping your child pronounce words better
- Developing literacy skills (including phonological awareness, reading, and writing skills)
- Providing your child with an alternative communication method (such as through high-tech or low-tech communication systems)
- Strengthening your child’s ability to speak more comfortably and confidently in front of others.
Apart from working in individual settings, our team also runs group sessions for children working on social communication skills. Children will be grouped based on their ages and/or ability levels to ensure conducive, comfortable, and productive sessions.
