speech therapists in Shenton Park and Success

Language

Language refers to the words we use to speak and understand others. Yet language is much more than just words. We also express language through gestures, pictures and voice output systems.

Many children reach language milestones without extra support. However, this isn’t always the case. Some children may take longer to develop these skills.

Our Language Services

Our speech therapists use evidence-based techniques to boost your child’s vocabulary so they can:

  • Label and describe objects, actions, people and places
  • Apply morphology and syntax (such as past tense, plural, conjunctions and contractions)
  • Form and lengthen sentences
  • Understand and generate word definitions
  • Follow simple and complex instructions
  • Understand ‘hidden meanings’ such as problem solving figurative language, making inferences and predictions
  • Generate succinct oral and written narratives.

Together, these skills are essential in helping children communicate effectively within everyday communication and academic environments.
