Mosman Speech Pathologist

Speech Clinic supports children with speech therapy across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Mosman area. We advocate for early intervention. It’s critically important to recognise signs of potential speech, language, literacy or social difficulties, as this helps us to minimise future impacts on academic success and a child’s social life.

Should we wait and see?
We are often asked, “when is the best age to start speech therapy?”. As soon as possible is always best. Speech and Language Therapists can provide treatment and complete assessments to children from 16 months to 18 years old. There is strong evidence supporting early intervention. When a speech therapist can support a child from birth until 4-5 years old, they can reduce the long-term impacts of a communication or language disorder. This gives our children the best chance to be ready for school. Sometimes speech, literacy, fluency, language and social interaction difficulties can become present throughout a child’s schooling years. We also love supporting school-aged kids to reach their academic and social potential.
