Kallangur Speech Pathologist

Speech Clinic Kallangur supports children with speech therapy across their childhood and teenage years who live in the Kallangur location. We strongly 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 academic success and a child’s social life.

Can I just wait and see?
We’re always asked, “when is the best age to start speech therapy?”. Earliest 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 gives our children the best chance to be ready for school. Sometimes speech, literacy, fluency, language and social interaction difficulties can become present throughout a child’s schooling years. We love to support school-aged children to reach their academic and social potential.
