About Us
Welcome to The Speech Space, where we offer Speech Language Therapy services for children and adults, as well as a Sensory Play Shop for children.
Our founder, Nasiha, is a Speech Language Therapist with over 7 years of experience working with children and adults with complex communication needs, particularly those on the Autism Spectrum.
At The Speech Space, we are passionate about providing high-quality services to families and children with a variety of therapy needs, while focusing on all aspects of communication and general child development.
We work closely with therapists, schools, teachers, and other relevant service providers to ensure a multidisciplinary and holistic care approach.
In addition to our therapy services, we also have a Sensory Play Shop, which was created out of love and passion for engaging little minds to create and learn through play.
As a mom and therapist, Nasiha has used our handmade playdough for all sorts of open-ended play opportunities. The benefits for tiny hands and minds are endless, including fine motor development, language development, creativity, and so much more.

If you are experiencing any challenges with communication or swallowing, or have been diagnosed with a communication or swallowing disorder, speech therapy may be able to help you.
