OUR SERVICES
WHAT?
The trained neurodiversity-affirming mobile speech pathologist provides compassionate, community-based speech and language services that respect and celebrate each individual's unique communication style.
WHERE?
The speech pathologist offers tailored support to children and adults in familiar environments like homes, schools, and daycares, focusing on enhancing communication, language, and social skills without pressuring individuals to conform to neurotypical standards.
WHY?
By bringing therapy directly to where the clients live and interact, we hope to create a comfortable and inclusive space for developing skills that promote genuine self-expression and meaningful connections within their community
AREAS OF PRACTICE
SPEECH
Speech support focuses on helping individuals articulate sounds more clearly and improve their speech patterns. For children, this may involve practicing specific sounds or words to enhance clarity. For adults, especially those affected by conditions like stroke or neurological disorders, speech support works on regaining control of speech muscles to produce clearer and more effective communication.
LANGUAGE
Language support for analytic and gestalt language processors focuses on enhancing communication skills in a way that aligns with each individual's natural language processing style. For analytic language processors, a mobile speech pathologist helps develop language by building vocabulary and understanding sentence structure in a step-by-step manner.
For gestalt language processors, the focus is on breaking down larger language chunks or scripts into smaller, more flexible units that can be used in varied contexts. The goal is to create a supportive environment where both children and adults can expand their communication abilities in ways that feel natural to them, respecting their unique approach to language learning.
LITERACY
Literacy support focuses on reading and writing skills, which are crucial for both academic success and daily communication. For children, this may involve phonemic awareness, decoding skills, and reading comprehension strategies. For adults, literacy support can help with challenges like reading fluency, spelling, and the ability to construct written language effectively.
VOICE
Voice support is designed to help individuals who struggle with voice quality issues such as hoarseness, pitch problems, or vocal strain. This type of support teaches techniques to use the voice more effectively, maintain vocal health, and achieve a clear, strong, and consistent voice that matches their needs.
FLUENCY
Fluency support addresses difficulties like stuttering or interruptions in the flow of speech. The goal is to help individuals, whether children or adults, develop smoother and more natural speech patterns. Techniques may include strategies to control the pace of speech, reduce tension, and manage moments of disfluency.
NEURODIVERSITY AFFIRMING SOCIAL SUPPORT
Neurodiversity affirming social support recognises and respects the different ways people’s brains work, focusing on enhancing communication skills in a way that values each individual’s unique abilities.
For children and adults with neuro-diverse conditions like autism, this support emphasises building social communication skills in a supportive and inclusive way, encouraging authentic self-expression without trying to force typical speech or behaviour patterns.
DYSPHAGIA (SWALLOWING)
Dysphagia support focuses on helping those with swallowing difficulties, which can affect both children and adults. This involves techniques and exercises to strengthen the muscles involved in swallowing and strategies to make eating and drinking safer. The goal is to enhance the individual's quality of life by reducing the risk of choking or aspiration while maintaining a positive mealtime experience.
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)
AAC support involves teaching and integrating alternative communication methods, such as low and high tech communication boards, and speech-generating devices, for those who have difficulty with spoken language.
A neurodiversity-affirming speech pathologist helps individuals find the most effective communication tools that align with their preferences and needs, empowering them to express themselves in ways that feel comfortable and natural.
