Speech Therapy

SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPY

Speech–Language Therapy (SLT) is an allied health profession that supports individuals with difficulties in speech, language, communication, voice, feeding, and swallowing.

Effective communication requires the ability to choose appropriate words, organise them into correct grammatical structures, understand spoken messages, and coordinate precise movements of the oral and vocal systems.

Our Speech–Language Therapists use a systematic, evidence-based, and goal-oriented approach to assess and treat individuals across age groups. Therapy is delivered through carefully planned, engaging, and functional activities designed to improve real-life communication and participation.

Conditions We Support

Our Speech–Language Therapy services address a wide range of communication and feeding challenges, including:

  • Oral motor delays
  • Speech and language delays
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder and Cognitive Communication difficulties
  • Articulation and phonological disorders
  • Cleft lip and/or palate
  • Hearing impairment
  • Voice disorders
  • Fluency disorders (stammering/stuttering)
  • Neuro-communication disorders (Apraxia of Speech, Aphasia, Dysarthria)
  • Dysphagia (feeding and swallowing disorders)

We work with children, adolescents, and adults, tailoring therapy to developmental level, diagnosis, and individual goals.

Assessment & Therapy Approach

Our Speech–Language Therapists use a combination of standardised assessments, clinical observation, and functional communication analysis to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective intervention planning.

Standardised Assessments May Include:

  • Woodcock–Johnson IV (WJ-IV) – Oral Language
  • Test of Auditory Perceptual Skills – Third Edition (TAPS-3)
  • Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP)

These are few of the tools that help us obtain reliable and valid profiles of speech, language, and auditory processing skills.

Therapy sessions are typically 30 minutes to 1 hour long and are customised based on the individual’s needs and attention capacity.

Family-Centred Therapy

At BVerve, therapy does not end at the clinic. We strongly believe in family involvement as a key factor in progress. Our therapists:

  • Share assessment findings in clear, parent-friendly language
  • Provide structured home programs
  • Offer counselling and guidance as required
  • Collaborate closely with caregivers to ensure carryover into daily routines
