Speech Pathology

Difficulties communicating with others can be frustrating for your child. Whether your child has difficulty understanding what others are saying or has difficulty expressing themselves due to language or articulation difficulties, your child needs therapists who understand the wide range of communication strategies available, including the use of alternatives such as communication devices.

Speech Pathology Liverpool

Our Speech Pathology team is dedicated to building the bridge in your child’s communication. They provide therapy in a way that is stimulating and will motivate your child to engage with the therapist to master communication difficulties. Each session uses optimal energy and interaction between your child and the therapist to get the most out of your child. Speech Pathology sessions at SWKC rarely involve sitting still at a table with worksheets, instead we use movement and experiential learning to encourage each child to develop and learn new communication skills.
