• Our approach

  Speech Steps Therapy uses a family-centred and neuro-affirming approach, with all sessions individually tailored to each child's unique needs and learning style. Sessions are delivered in the child's most natural and comfortable environment, whether that's at home, in childcare, or at school, to help support their communication development. The clinician is warm and engaging, carefully adapting therapy to suit each child's preferences and requirements. With extensive experience across speech sound disorders, language delays, fluency, literacy, social communication and AAC, sessions are designed to help children thrive in their communication skills. The service is committed to staying current with the latest clinical research and evidence-based practices.
