“He will speak when he is ready” has delayed more children than any other sentence. The milestones are clear: ~50 words and two-word phrases by age 2, stranger-understandable speech by 3. Behind on these? An evaluation either starts help early — when it works best — or gives you genuine peace of mind.
Our child sessions look like play and work like therapy: flashcards, games and routines targeting specific speech goals, with a parent in the room learning every technique. And because we are an audiology clinic too, every child's hearing is tested first — the step most centres skip.
What we offer
- Late talking and limited vocabulary
- Unclear speech that family understands but others don't
- Early stuttering — most responsive when caught early
- Autism spectrum communication therapy with parent coaching
- School-readiness language building
Frequently asked questions
My child only speaks 10 words at age 2.5 — is that a problem?
It is a reason to evaluate now, not panic. At that age the gap closes fastest with early therapy; waiting six months costs more than sixty sessions later.
Will my child cry through sessions?
Sessions are built from play your child chooses. Most children ask to come back — that is by design, because an engaged child learns.
Hearing seems fine — why test it?
Mild loss from ear infections (glue ear) lets a child hear footsteps but miss speech sounds — invisible to parents, devastating to speech. Five minutes of testing rules it out.
