As we are child specialists we provide speciality services for: SPEECH - poorly spoken sounds such as lisps or sound substitutions like "dat" for "cat" - helping children that can speak but it is sounds like a younger child or their speech is unclear or they really are hard to understand LANGUAGE - receptive language (understanding language e.g. following directions, understanding concepts, following conversations or teacher instructions) - expressive language (They might be talking a lot but their sentences are short so they sound immature or their the words are mixed in the sentence so it is hard to follow what they are talking about or they might be using the wrong words for what they want to say or the wrong grammar e.g., "He is running" for "she was running". LATE TALKERS Is one of our main areas - not all speech pathologists focus on the very young - we will see children from 16 to 36 months that: - are saying using few or no words - often they might say a word once or twice and then you don't hear them again! - expanding children's early language development so they understand words so they can learn to say words - particular support for children at 24 months that are not saying at least 50 words and not staring to use little sentences. LITERACY - phonological awareness - reading - spelling - ability to tell a story or recount what happened when you were not with them. FLUENCY/STUTTERING - children who have difficulties using fluent speech - children who repeat sounds/words/phrases - children who get stuck on getting their words out VOICE - children who have a hoarse voice - difficulties using a soft and/or loud voice TONGUE THRUST - children with an immature swallow - difficulties swallowing correctly - children with tongue protrusion during eating/drinking and often during speech as well FUSSY EATERS: - food refusal of bottle, solids or meals - narrow range of foods they accept -poor weight gain - stressful meal times Pop & Top™ Language and Social Skills Groups We are the home of Pop & Top™ Language and Social Skills Groups, a unique acceleration program specialising in optimising school readiness for children from 4 months to early primary school age. Our goal at Pop & Top™ is to accelerate the acquisition of early skills to maximise children’s learning potential. Pop & Top Language and Social Skills groups are focused on enhancing and optimising key areas of communication, social and developmental skills for all children. The Pop & Top™ program embraces the philosophy that children learn with fun and play. Pop, a zany character and his magical top bring learning to the children in fun and exciting ways. We work with all communication difficulties experienced by children and adolescents including: •Late Talkers: From 12 – 18 months – No matter what people might tell you, if you have questions about your child’s early speech or language development, it is NEVER too early to seek advice or assessment. A few ideas and techniques taught to you may prevent longer term problems down the track!!!! Families with young late talkers often attend an initial assessment to investigate factors that may be impacting on their child’s development and then attend 4 – 6 treatment sessions to obtain ideas and techniques specific to their child to boost their communication development. Also see our Pop & Top Late Talker Groups. These are small, fun play groups (max 8 – 10 children) aimed for children 18 months to 3 years that are using less than 50 words or not developing little phrases and sentences. •Medical Related Difficulties – Our staff are experienced with communication difficulties associated with many syndromes, head injuries and other medical based problems. •Multiple Birth Children – The Director of SpeechNet, Sandra, conducted her PhD in relation to the early communication development of twins, triplets and higher multiple birth children as well as later reading and spelling difficulties associated with multiple birth children.
