Speech Therapy
Building confident communicators through compassionate, play-based speech and language support
What This Service Is
Speech therapy at GOODHANDS helps children develop clear speech, strong language skills, and confident communication. Our sessions are playful, engaging, and tailored to each child's unique needs.
We work with children who may have difficulty pronouncing sounds, putting sentences together, understanding language, or expressing their thoughts and feelings. Our goal is to help every child find their voice and communicate with confidence.
Who This Service Helps
Speech therapy supports children who may be:
- Finding it hard to pronounce certain sounds or words
- Speaking unclearly for their age
- Struggling to put sentences together
- Having difficulty understanding instructions or conversations
- Finding it challenging to express their needs or emotions
- Hesitant to speak in social situations
- Showing delays in reaching speech and language milestones
This service is suitable for children from toddlerhood through school age, and we tailor our approach to each child's developmental stage.
How We Work
Our approach to speech therapy is:
- Child-centred: We follow your child's interests and make sessions fun and engaging
- Evidence-based: Our methods are grounded in proven research and best practices
- Family-focused: We partner with parents and caregivers to support progress at home
- Collaborative: We work with schools and other professionals involved in your child's care
Each child begins with a thorough assessment to identify their strengths and areas for growth. From there, we create an individualised support plan with clear, achievable goals.
We regularly review progress and adjust our approach to ensure your child is always moving forward.
What Sessions Look Like
Our speech therapy sessions are warm, playful, and designed to feel like fun rather than work. We use games, stories, songs, and hands-on activities to help children practice their communication skills naturally.
Sessions are typically one-on-one, giving your child focused attention and support.
Therapy can take place in our clinic, at your child's school, or in the comfort of your home, whatever works best for your family. We also offer teletherapy for added convenience.
Parent Involvement
Parents are essential partners in speech therapy. We provide coaching and practical strategies so you can support your child's communication development throughout the day.
After each session, we share what we worked on and suggest simple activities you can do at home to reinforce learning. We also offer ongoing guidance and answer any questions you may have along the way.
Your involvement helps your child make faster progress and builds their confidence in using their new skills in everyday situations.
