Greenvale Speech Pathologist

Speech Clinic supports children across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Greenvale 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 social and academic success.

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