Speech-Language Therapy

 

 

 

Speech-language therapists are qualified to diagnose and treat communication difficulties.

At The Learning Umbrella, we provide assessments and intervention for children aged 1-17 years with a wide range of communication disorders.

A child should be referred to a speech-language therapist if he/she shows the following difficulties:

• Difficulty following instructions;

• Making himself/herself understood;

• Unclear speech / mispronunciation;

• Lisping;

• Stammering;

• Difficulty formulating sentences;

• Muddling up words/syllables/sounds while talking.

• Communication difficulties ensuing from hearing disorders;

• Difficulties with written language (for e.g. writing compositions);

• Difficulties with reading comprehension.
