How I CAN support your child
I support children with a range of communication needs, including:
Receptive and expressive language
Understanding language and expressing their thoughts, needs, and ideas
Late talking & early language
Not yet talking or using only a few words
Autism, sensory, and regulation
Supporting communication while also addressing sensory needs and regulation
Gestalt Language Processing (GLP)
Supporting children who use scripts or delayed echolalia to develop flexible, self-generated language
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Using tools such as core boards or speech-generating devices to communicate
Speech sound development
Improving clarity of speech (e.g., articulation, stuttering, childhood apraxia of speech)
Social communication
Building connections and navigating social interactions
My Approach
Child-led & Play-based
Children learn best when they are engaged, motivated, and having fun.
Parent Coaching
You will be supported to learn and use strategies in everyday routines.
Neurodiversity-affirming
Your child’s communication style is respected and supported.
