Fluency

Speaking Without Stuttering

I provide mobile assessment and therapy for developmental stuttering. 

A child or young adult might benefit from Speech Pathology if they:

  • regularly repeat the sounds or syllables at the start of words or in the middle of words 
  • seem to get stuck on certain words, sounds or syllables 
  • hesitate, pause or rephrase a lot when speaking 
  • make noises or have tick-like behaviours that interrupt their speech

Please note; most children start stuttering between three and four-years-old. Stuttering may begin very suddenly, even overnight. The best available evidence states that stuttering should be treated by a Speech Pathologist as soon as it is identified by a parent, even if it seems very mild. 

I am trained and experienced in the Lidcombe Program. 

Social Skills

Communicating in Social Contexts

I provide mobile assessment and therapy for children and young adults who would like to better understand their own and others communication styles, and to better understand social rules, customs and expectations. I do not teach or train neurodiverse or Autistic children or young adults to “mask” their true selves and I accept and appreciate neurodiverse ways of being in, moving through and experiencing the world.

A child or young adult might benefit from Speech Pathology if they:

  • are interested in understanding social norms, rules or customs 
  • would like to learn more about how different people communicate
  • are seeking support to make or maintain friendships or to get along well with others at home, school, work or in the community
  • would like to have more fulfilling and more meaningful conversations
