Speech Therapy

Speech pathologists in schools
Having speech and language therapy in schools is a great alternative to in-clinic sessions for the following reasons:
​
- As a busy parent, you are not able to make it to sessions in-clinic before or after school hours.
- You are worried that by taking your kid out of school will disrupt their their ability to concentrate in school
- Due to work and other commitments (other kids), it is logistically impossible for you to take them out of school/childcare/kindergarten to attend speech therapy sessions.
- Your child may require the support from the school or childcare setting during therapy sessions
Here at Therapy Lab, we offer flexible therapy sessions by seeing your child at their respective school/childcare. Speech therapy at schools do not in any way compromise the quality and the effectiveness of our therapy sessions. Having speech therapy sessions in schools will allow us to work closely with their teachers to unsure that they understand the specific needs as part of your child's treatment plan. It also allows us to observe how your child interact with his friends in a "real live" scenario. This would greatly assist us with our ongoing therapy sessions as we can accurately gauge where your child is at.
In addition, we will also be able to work closely with their teachers to reinforce vocabulary, concepts or literacy areas to help them excel in school.
What types of speech therapy services are offered in schools and child care?
- Speech assessments
- Regular therapy sessions e.g. weekly or fortnightly
- School groups
Apart from schools and childcare visits, we also offer home visits for those who prefer to have therapy sessions at home. For more information, follow the link below.
