Communication is a vital skill that we all use in life to connect with other people. Effective communication skills ensure positive social development of your child occurs through school, in the workplace and in society. Speech Pathologists can help with various communication difficulties in children: late talkers (children who have delay in developing language); trouble following instructions and understanding others; difficulties constructing sentences; unclear speech, and those with social challenges.
Speech Pathologists can also help in area of literacy, such reading and spelling, and with other academic skills for children at school who are struggling to express themselves and learn to the best of their ability.
