Speech Pathology
Supporting Your Child’s Communication Journey

What is Speech Pathology?
Speech pathology, also known as speech therapy, is a specialised service that supports individuals who have difficulties with communication, language, speech sounds, voice, or even swallowing. A qualified professional, called a speech-language pathologist (SLP), works with children to build essential communication skills needed for everyday life.
What Does a Speech Therapist Do?
Our Speech therapists assess, diagnose, and create personalised therapy plans to help children with:
- Speech clarity – helping children pronounce sounds and words correctly
- Language development – understanding and using words, sentences, and concepts
- Social communication – learning to take turns and engage in conversations
- Voice therapy – improving pitch, tone, and vocal quality
- Feeding and swallowing – helping children who struggle with eating or drinking safely
The therapy sessions are tailored to your child’s unique needs and developmental stage. We use fun, play-based activities and evidence-based strategies to help children feel comfortable and confident while learning.
When Should You Consider Speech Therapy?
If your child:
- Is slow to start talking
- Is difficult to understand
- Has trouble following instructions or answering questions
- Shows signs of frustration when communicating
- Has been diagnosed with autism, apraxia of speech, or developmental delays
... then speech therapy at Healthy Kids at Play can make a meaningful difference.
