Our speech and language therapists are deeply invested in understanding how children and young individuals communicate in their daily lives—be it with family, friends, or within their educational environments. Our primary objective is to empower these young individuals to communicate effectively, while also ensuring that the adults surrounding them are equipped with the best strategies to support their communication journey.
At our private clinic in Birmingham, we don’t believe in waiting lists or GP referrals, if you have concerns about your child’s speech and language development, simply choose an appointment time below.
Our approach encompasses a comprehensive array of strategies aimed at boosting confidence, refining skills, and enhancing communication abilities. We work closely with schools and family members, providing the necessary guidance and tools to assist them in nurturing effective communication for the child or young person in question.
Understanding the unique circumstances of each child is crucial. Many factors, such as general developmental delay, physical or sensory challenges, learning difficulties, or specific communication disorders like developmental language disorder or speech disorders, can contribute to communication difficulties. By delving into the specifics of a young person's challenges, we can tailor our approach to facilitate smoother communication and help them overcome everyday tasks with greater ease.
We can provide comprehensive support to children across various aspects of communication and language development. Here are several ways our specialists can assist in supporting your child:
Conduct thorough assessments to evaluate a child's language skills, identifying areas of delay or difficulty. Develop bespoke intervention plans to improve vocabulary, sentence structure, comprehension, and overall language abilities.
Assess and treat speech sound disorders, helping children with accurate production of speech sounds and improving articulation.
Assess and treat voice disorders, providing strategies to improve vocal quality and prevent strain or damage to the vocal cords.
Address pragmatic language skills, including turn-taking, understanding non-verbal cues, and appropriate social interactions to enhance a child's ability to engage effectively with others.
Implement AAC strategies, including the use of communication devices or signs, to support children with limited verbal communication abilities.
Work with young children to develop foundational communication skills, promoting early language development, interaction, and pre-literacy skills.
Assist children in developing reading and literacy skills, including phonological awareness, decoding, comprehension, and reading fluency.
Educate parents and caregivers about communication disorders, providing guidance on how to support their child's communication development at home and in daily activities.
Collaborate with teachers and other educational professionals to create supportive environments for children with communication difficulties, ensuring consistent strategies and approaches.
Consider the child's cultural and linguistic background to tailor interventions appropriately and respect cultural norms and values.
Offer emotional support and counselling to children who may experience frustration, anxiety, or low self-esteem due to their communicative challenges.
Continuously monitor a child's progress, adjust intervention strategies as needed, and celebrate their achievements to maintain motivation and engagement.
By implementing these approaches, our speech and language therapists can provide holistic support to children, enabling them to enhance their communication skills and participate fully in various aspects of their lives.

A paediatric speech and language therapist assesses, diagnoses, and treats communication disorders in children, focusing on speech, language, voice, fluency, and swallowing issues. They design personalised treatment plans and provide therapy to improve a child's communication abilities and overall quality of life.
To become a child speech and language therapist, one typically needs a bachelor's degree in communication sciences and disorders or a related field. Subsequently, a master's degree in speech-language pathology is essential. Additionally, completing supervised clinical experience and obtaining state licensure or certification are crucial steps in establishing a career in this field.
A child may require the assistance of a speech and language therapist if they experience difficulties with speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice problems, or swallowing difficulties. Additionally, children with conditions such as autism, hearing impairment, developmental delays, or neurological disorders may benefit from speech and language therapy to improve their communication skills.
If your child demonstrates challenges in speech development, struggles to express themselves, has difficulty understanding or following instructions, experiences persistent stuttering, or encounters swallowing difficulties, consulting a speech-language pathologist is advisable. A comprehensive evaluation by a professional can determine if your child would benefit from speech and language therapy.
