Kids’ Speech Therapy in Lalor

Speech Clinic Lalor provides speech therapy across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Lalor area. We strongly advocate for early intervention. It’s critically important to recognise signs of potential speech, language, literacy or social difficulties, as this helps us to reduce future impacts on social and academic success.

Should you wait and see?
We’re always asked, “when is the best age to start speech therapy?”. Early is always best. Speech and Language Therapists can provide therapy and complete speech pathology 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 provides children with the best chance to be school-ready. Sometimes speech, language, literacy, fluency and social interaction difficulties can become noticeable throughout a child’s schooling years. We also love to support school-aged children and adolescents to reach their full academic and social potential.

Have concerns for your child?

Contact our friendly speech therapy team today and find out more about the services we have available in Lalor. You can book an appointment time for your child. Please note, we are currently experiencing high demand and may have an extensive waiting list in Lalor.

Higher Level Language Development

With April Fool’s Day just passing, it’s hard for speech pathologists to not think about the significance of humour. While many people do not necessarily realise, humour is actually a skill that draws upon many language areas. As a result, many children that present with language delays and disorders can have a significant difficulty both understanding and using humour with their peers - and this is essentially because many areas…
