Speech therapy for Adolescents
Assessment | Therapy | Support
At Speak and Swallow, we love nothing more than providing adolescents with the support they need to find their voice and develop their communication and social skills.
Our friendly, experienced Speech Therapists take the time to work with young people, their parents, and carers to understand what is important to them. We pay close attention to what a normal day involves for them – what they do, how they engage and where they go, so we can recommend therapeutic solutions that will complement and enhance their life.
Our services also include group therapy and social groups to build social communication skills in a safe, nurturing (and fun) shared setting.
Support for Adolescents
The team at Speak and Swallow provide assessment and treatment for adolescents with a wide range of communication difficulties such as:
- Speech – Saying the sounds in words so people can understand
- Language – Communication of ideas using spoken or written words
- Literacy – Reading, comprehension and written communication
- Social – Interacting with others, including verbal and non-verbal communication.
Assessment and treatment for adolescents can take place in our clinic, in the home or school environment. Individual and group therapy sessions are available.
