Speech Clarity
Speech clarity refers to how clearly a child can pronounce speech sounds so they can be understood by their communication partners. We support children with speech sound difficulties, articulation delays, and phonological patterns.
Language Development
Language development includes both understanding language (receptive) and using words and sentences to epxress ideas and wants (expressive). We support children to build vocabulary, sentence structure, comprehension and communication confidence.
AAC
AAC supports children who benefit from alternative ways to communicate, such as visuals, commuication boards, speech generating devices, or key word sign. We help children to build functional communication and reduce frustration through alternative means of communication.
SPEECH PATHOLOGY
Speech Pathologists support children and families to build communication skills, confidence and meaningful connection with others. At Functional Therapy Co, we support a range of speech, language, and social communication needs for children aged 0 up until 18 years.
Social Communication
Early Intervention
Literacy & School Support
Social communication are the skills needed to connect with others, such as conversation, turn taking, and understanding both neurotypical and neurodivergent cues in social contexts. We support children to develop meaningful social interactions that are important to them.
Early intervention supports young children experiencing delays in their communication milestones through play-based therapy and parent coaching, to build early communication skills and connection.
Literacy skills are closely linked to language development and can impact reading, spelling, writing, and learning at school. We support children with foundational language skills needed for literacy, classroom participation, and academic success.
We also support fluency (stuttering), selective mutism, and communication challenges related to neurodivergence and developmental delay.
