SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY FOR CHILDREN

doesnt look at us when we call her
name.”
“He is very talkative, but we can’t
understand what he is saying!”

Assessment

The initial assessment is an important and necessary step to understanding and evaluating the child’s strengths and weaknesses. A detailed assessment, both formal and/or informal, are offered depending on the child’s ability and needs. We assess the child’s communication, language, speech, play, feeding and social skills.

Individualised Therapy

After the initial assessment, an individualised treatment plan and goals will be prepared, with reference to parents’ concerns and priorities. We offer individual therapy, using various therapy approaches such as:

⦁ The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)
⦁ Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson’s Oral Motor Therapy (TalkTools)
⦁ The Hanen Program
⦁ Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets (PROMPT)
⦁ SOS Approach to Feeding
⦁ Interactive-Oral Sensory Motor Approach (IOSM)
⦁ Nuffield Centre Dyspraxia Programme (NDP3)
⦁ Language Extension and Expansion techniques
⦁ Modeling techniques and others

Therapy frequency can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly review sessions as recommended by therapist. Each therapy session is an hour long, including feedback.

Feeding Therapy

We provide support and therapy for children with feeding difficulties. A detailed assessment of the child’s oral-motor skills, oral sensitivity, as well as their feeding skills will be done. After which, an individualised treatment plan for the child will be prepared. Feeding therapy is a long journey that requires patience and understanding for the child’s challenges. At Noah’s Arc Speech Therapy, we are committed to walk this journey with our children and their families.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC refers to all other means of communication besides talking. It can be in the form of signing, pictures, written words or the use of technology to help someone communicate, even when speech is minimal. The use of AAC (such as the Picture Exchange Communication System or PECS) greatly benefits some of our children who are still learning to talk or have challenges with speech. An assessment of the child’s communication, as well as language and motor skills are necessary to determine the most suitable AAC for the child.

Parent and Caregiver Training

Research has shown that parents play an important role in their child’s development. Therefore, we believe in supporting our parents, just as much as we support the child. We demonstrate, explain and teach our parents skills that would allow them to bring intervention home.

Language disorder

Child may have difficulty following directions and understanding concepts. Child may also have difficulty expressing and has poor vocabulary and grammar skills.

Articulation Difficulties

Child’s speech is unclear. Child makes errors in their speech production, substituting or omitting certain sounds. Child may or may not be aware of their speech difficulty, but can get more conscious as people around them points out their errors or misunderstand them.

Dyspraxia

Or Motor Speech Disorder

Dyspraxia refers to difficulty with the co-ordination and planning of speech in the absence of muscle weakness. It is a form of oral motor speech disorder. Child may be non-verbal, have very slow progress in speech development and exhibits more difficulty with speech on command then spontaneous oral-movement or speech.

Oral Motor Difficulties

Child may have muscle weakness in the oro-facial area, which in turn affects speech production and related tasks (i.e. feeding, blowing). Child may have accompanying oral-sensory issues where child may be under or over-sensitive in the oral area. This may cause the child to constantly put things in the mouth or vice versa.

Feeding Difficulties

Child may be very picky about the type of food they eat. They may have very limited variety of food intake or simply does not eat enough. Child may also experience choking or gagging when food is placed into their mouth.
