Kalamunda Speech Pathologist

Speech Clinic Kalamunda supports children across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Kalamunda location. 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?
We’re always asked, “when is the best age to start speech therapy?”. As soon as possible is always best. Speech 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 provides children with the best chance to be school-ready. 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 full academic and social potential.
