Speech Therapy
Welcome to our Special School’s Speech Therapy Program!
Little Heart Special School we understand the importance of addressing speech impediments to support children’s language development and communication skills. Our Speech Therapy Program is designed to assist children with various speech challenges, including stuttering and articulation errors.
Articulation errors are another area of focus in our Speech Therapy Program. We understand that children are born ready to learn language, but they need guidance and practice to master the language used in their family and environment. Learning a language is a gradual process, and children may vary in how quickly they reach language milestones. Some children may face challenges with specific sounds, words, or sentences while they are learning.
Our experienced speech therapists utilize evidence-based techniques to help children overcome speech challenges and enhance their language skills. We create individualized therapy plans that cater to each child’s unique needs and pace of learning. Our goal is to ensure that every child can communicate effectively and confidently, unlocking their full potential.
In our Speech Therapy Program, we focus on fostering a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Our therapists engage children in various interactive activities to promote language development, including:
- Responding to the first sounds, gurgles, and babbling that a baby makes.
- Encouraging children to repeat and expand upon what they say.
- Engaging in conversations about things that children see and experience.
- Asking questions and actively listening to the child’s responses.
- Reading books together to promote language and literacy skills.
- Sharing stories and narratives to stimulate language comprehension.
- Singing songs and reciting rhymes to enhance speech fluency and rhythm.
