Early communication
Building connection and shared attention.
Support for early communication may focus on interaction, regulation, engagement, play and communication that begins before words.
Speech, language and literacy therapy
Support for speech, language, play, social communication and early literacy.
Speech with Denielle provides individualised speech therapy and speech pathology for a wide range of communication goals, from early or pre-linguistic communication through to speech clarity, language, social communication, play and literacy development.
Speech
Speech sounds, motor speech and phonology.
Therapy can support speech clarity, motor planning, intelligibility and patterns that affect how speech is understood.
Language and social communication
Understanding, expression and participation.
Support may target receptive and expressive language, conversation, social communication and communication confidence in everyday settings.
Play and literacy
Play-based learning and early literacy foundations.
Therapy can include play, interaction, narrative, sound awareness and the communication skills that support reading and learning.
A person is finding communication harder than it needs to be.
- Speech is difficult to understand
- Understanding or using language feels hard
- Social communication or play skills need support
- Early literacy or communication for learning is a concern
- There is a need to consider AAC alongside spoken communication
Communication goals often overlap across services.
Some people benefit from a mix of speech therapy, AAC support, feeding therapy and assessment. When those needs overlap, support is planned in a connected way rather than split into separate boxes.
