What is speech and language therapy?
Speech and language therapy provides treatment, support and care for children and adults who have difficulties with communication, or with eating, drinking and swallowing.
Speech and language therapists (SLTs) are allied health professionals. They work with parents, carers and other professionals, such as teachers, nurses, occupational therapists and doctors.
The ability to communicate effectively does wonders to boost one’s self-esteem and confidence. This is why we believe no child should be deprived of the ability to communicate their thoughts, emotions, and ideas to others. Speech therapy involves the management and treatment of conditions which affect a person’s ability to speak and communicate.
Our private Speech Therapists and Pathologists assess and provide intervention to help children with speech and language difficulties in Singapore. Through a customised therapy plan, we adopt a wide range of effective approaches and strategies to address each individual’s needs so as to promote their speech and language development.
To ensure that your child is ready to make the best of their primary school years, The British school of outdoor education – Speech Therapy uses specialised strategies to evaluate and support your child’s learning needs.
