Frequently asked questions

Below are some frequently asked questions that we have compiled to help you make an informed decision about our services. If you have any other questions that are not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

Why do I need speech therapy?

There are many reasons why someone might benefit from speech therapy. Speech therapy can help improve communication skills, such as speech clarity, language development, and social communication. It can also help individuals with cognitive-communication impairments, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, speech therapy can assist with feeding and swallowing difficulties, as well as voice disorders. 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.

What age range do you work with?

At The Speech Space, we work with both children and adults. For our paediatric services, we work with children from birth through to 18 years old. For our adult services, we work with individuals aged 18 years and older.

How long are therapy sessions?

The length of therapy sessions can vary depending on the individual needs of the client. Generally, our therapy sessions are 45-60 minutes in length, but this can be adjusted as needed to ensure that each client receives the best possible care.

Do you offer assessments?

Yes, we offer a range of assessments to help identify communication difficulties and develop an appropriate therapy plan. Our assessments are tailored to the individual needs of the client and can include standardized assessments, informal observations, and parent/caregiver interviews.

How do I book an appointment?

Booking an appointment is easy! You can call our clinic directly, send us an email, or fill out our online booking form. Our friendly staff will be happy to assist you in scheduling an appointment at a time that works best for you.

How often should my child attend therapy?

The frequency of therapy sessions depends on the individual needs of the client. Our therapists will work with you to develop a personalized therapy plan that takes into account the severity of the communication impairment, the age of the client, and other relevant factors. Typically, therapy sessions are held once or twice a week.

How long does it take to see progress?

The length of time it takes to see progress in speech therapy varies depending on the individual’s needs and the severity of their communication disorder. However, with consistent attendance and practice, progress can often be seen within a few weeks to a few months.
