Speech Clinic Kambah supports children across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Kambah location. We advocate for early intervention. Recognising signs of potential speech, language, social, or literacy difficulties is important, as this helps us to reduce future impacts on social and academic success.
They’ll grow out of it, right?
We’re always asked, “when is the best age to start speech therapy?”. As soon as possible is always best. Speech and Language Pathologists can provide treatment and complete assessments to kids 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 kids their best chance to be ready for school. Sometimes speech, literacy, fluency, language and social interaction difficulties can become apparent throughout a child’s schooling years. We love to support school-aged children to reach their academic and social potential.
