Welcome to Talkshop Speech Pathology โ€“ Where Communication and Confidence Thrive

At Talkshop, we believe that supporting communication skills can empower individuals to express their true selves without constraints. We are an NDIS Certified, all-age, inclusive speech pathology service that celebrates the strengths of each individual we work with. We are guided by a philosophy that reframes tradit

ional approaches, focusing on targeting meaningful functional outcomes to meet everyday social and communication needs. Our Approach:

๐ŸŒŸ Strengths-Based Affirmation: Unlike traditional models, we steer clear of impairment-focused or deficits-based reports. Instead, we accentuate your strengths and champion your abilities.

๐ŸŒŸ Functional Outcomes: Our therapy isn't about just fixing isolated issues. It's about achieving practical results that matter in your daily life โ€“ helping you communicate effectively in social interactions and meet your unique communication needs.

๐ŸŒŸ Collaborative Teamwork: We believe in the power of teamwork. Our evidence-based and consultative therapy draws on a wealth of expertise to craft tailored solutions that work best for you.

๐ŸŒŸ Individualised Goals: There's no one-size-fits-all here. We work closely with you to set goals that are specific to your circumstances, ensuring that your journey with us is personalized and meaningful. Mimi Naylor โ€“ Leading the Way:

Hi, I'm Mimi Naylor, the proud founder of Talkshop Speech Pathology. With over two decades of experience as a Speech Pathologist, I have worn many hats across the globe.

โœจ Throwback to an amazing morning at Little Scribblers Brookvale! โœจ

As part of our February theme of Connection, we're reflecting on this fantastic Supporting Little Learners outreach, where we connected with over 50 families and answered more than 90 questions about speech, language, stuttering, and feeding milestones. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ถ

It was incredible to meet the fabulous team at Little Scribblers and see their amazing premises in action! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿซ We loved blowing bubbles with the kids, sharing milestone handouts and educator posters, sparking important conversations with families and educators.

26/06/2024

Being bilingual does not cause language delays in children. In fact, being bilingual comes with some great benefits, like improved focus, creativity, problem-solving skills, and even protection against cognitive decline later in life.

Kids can become bilingual in two ways: learning both languages from birth, or by adding a second language later on.

Here are some important things to know about bilingualism:

1. Bilingual kids might start speaking a bit later, but their vocabulary is just as big as kids who speak only one language.
2. Bilingual kids may mix words from both languages in their sentences, but that's totally normal and doesn't mean they're confused.
3. Most bilingual people are better in one language than the other. It often depends on where they live and other factors.
4. Being bilingual is a fantastic skill, and it gives kids a lot of advantages. When speech pathologists assess bilingual kids, they look at both languages, how much the child hears and speaks them, and how it affects their everyday life. This way, we make sure we understand all of your child's strengths in both languages!

FAQ: How can I make my child talk more? Here are six top tips to help your child develop their speech and language skills:

1. Use Grammatical Speech: When talking to your child, use grammatically correct sentences or portions of sentences. This helps children understand the structure of language and learn how words fit together.

2. Keep Sentences Short and Simple: Use short sentences that are appropriate for your child's age and language development level. Avoid overly complex language that might confuse them.

3. Stress Key Words: Emphasise important words in your sentences. This makes it easier for your child to grasp the meaning and focus on the core information.

4. Speak Slowly: Talk slightly slower than you would with adults. This allows your child to process what you're saying more easily without feeling rushed.

5. Use Visual Aids: Incorporate visual cues, gestures, or objects to help your child associate words with their meanings. This visual reinforcement aids in language comprehension.

6. Engage in Back-and-Forth Conversations: Encourage interactive conversations with your child. Respond to their attempts at communication, even if it's through gestures or sounds. Back-and-forth exchanges stimulate language development and brain activity.

Remember, every child develops language skills at their own pace. Be patient, provide a supportive environment, and seek professional advice if you have concerns about your child's speech and language development.
