Fluency Disorder (stuterring)

Fluency in speech is essential for clear and effective communication. This is achieved through targeted exercises that help children develop smoother speech patterns by reducing instances of stuttering, ultimately leading to increased self-esteem and better social interactions.

Poor Oral Motor Development

A comprehensive approach to speech therapy includes oral motor skills therapy. By focusing on the movement and coordination of the muscles involved in speech, such as those in the lips, tongue, and jaw, we support the development of more precise and controlled speech patterns. This aspect of oral motor skills therapy is crucial, especially for children with childhood apraxia of speech. A child therapist will work closely with the child to ensure these skills are effectively developed.

Delayed Language Development (late talking)

Understanding that every child’s developmental journey is unique, my therapy support provides specialised support for late talkers. Delayed language development can be concerning for parents; my approach is to offer comprehensive assessments followed by tailored intervention strategies. These are designed to enrich a child’s general language skills and stimulate language development in a supportive, engaging environment. A child development assessment in Singapore is often the first step in creating an effective therapy plan.

Expressive Language

A child’s ability to express themselves verbally is fundamental to their development. The speech therapy sessions work towards expanding vocabulary, building sentence structures, remembering words, answering questions, and empowering children to convey their thoughts and needs effectively.

Parents Training

The active involvement of parents is pivotal in the progress of a child. I offer parents training to empower them with the tools and knowledge necessary to reinforce the skills acquired during therapy sessions. This training ensures that therapy continues beyond the sessions, as parents learn to create a supportive home environment that encourages consistent practice and application of communication strategies. A child therapist will guide parents through this process to ensure the best outcomes for their children.

Articulation

The speech therapy sessions are tailored to address a wide range of speech disorders, from simple articulation difficulties to more complex ones which might require oral-motor support. Working on specific sounds that a child may substitute, add, omit, or mispronounce, helps improve literacy skills, enhance the clarity of speech, and bolster confidence in their verbal interactions.

Pragmatics - Social Communication

Speech therapy goes beyond articulation. It plays a crucial role in developing social skills (pragmatic skills), which are skills we use every day to communicate with others e.g. taking, and maintaining the topic of a conversation, and nonverbal communication (e.g. gestures, facial expressions, body language). The therapy support focuses on improving conversational skills, understanding social cues, and enhancing narrative skills (the ability to tell stories and describe events), helping children in social settings and building lasting relationships.

Apraxia

Apraxia is a motor speech disorder that affects the brain’s ability to plan and execute the movements required for speech. Children with apraxia know what they want to say, but their brains have trouble coordinating the muscle movements necessary to articulate words. This leads to inconsistent and distorted speech patterns. Symptoms may include difficulty imitating sounds, inconsistent errors, and visible struggle to form words. Treatment involves intensive speech therapy that focuses on improving the planning, sequencing, and execution of speech movements, often using repetition and sensory cues to help the child produce more accurate and fluent speech.

Receptive Language

Comprehension is the cornerstone of communication. Through my language support sessions, I help children improve their ability to follow directions, understand questions and language they hear, and comprehend stories, which are vital skills for academic success and everyday interactions. A child development assessment in Singapore can help identify areas where a child may need additional support.
