Glenwood Speech Pathologist

Speech Clinic supports children across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Glenwood area. We are strong advocates 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 academic success and a child’s social life.

Should you wait and see?
Frequently, we’re asked, “when is the best age to start speech therapy?”. Earliest is always best. Speech and Language Therapists can complete assessments and provide treatment 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 also love supporting school-aged children and adolescents to reach their academic and social potential.
