Transforming speech therapy
Traditional speech and language therapy takes place at a table - sitting, repeating, learning through instruction. However, research shows that children naturally acquire language and speech through engaging in activities that interest them - and for many children this does not involve sitting still!
Most speech pathologists now practice child-led therapy - following the child’s lead in activities that interest them. Often this still takes place in a small room, with many activities sitting at the table. For some children this works, they love to sit and do the same thing many times.
We specialise in therapy for children who love to MOVE. Wriggly kids, climbing kids, jumping-hopping-skipping kids. Studies show full body activities during language learning increase engagement and retention of new words.
Located downstairs is the home of Ninja Stars Gymnastics (our sister company) where big therapy happens in the big Gym.
This space can be used for older children and adults who benefit from big movements.
Special group bookings can be made for 2-4 clients who would like to participate in semi-private gymnastics classes with our dual-qualified speech pathologist gymnastic coaches. Parents / carers must be present at all times during these sessions.
