Group therapy isn’t just fun - it’s evidence-based. Research shows that structured peer interaction supports the development of social communication skills like turn-taking, perspective-taking, and flexible language use in ways 1:1 sessions can’t always replicate.

📅 Stay tuned - our next holiday groups are coming this July!

Cooking groups with our Speech Pathologist Dana and Allied Health Assistant Monica! 👩‍🍳

The children worked on their communication and social goals through a fun, hands-on cooking experience, including reading a menu, requesting items in a pretend shop, following multi-step instructions, and taking turns with friends.

Holiday Social Groups = SUCCESS 🎉

Our group sessions were packed with fun, connection, and meaningful skill-building.

We worked on:
✔ Greeting peers and starting conversations
✔ Asking questions to learn about each other
✔ Language tasks – shopping for ingredients using a list & sequencing steps in our science experiments
✔ Science experiments (with LOTS of turn-taking and negotiating roles)
✔ “Floor is Lava” – taking turns being the leader
✔ Practicing social scripts for winning AND losing

Can’t wait for the next one!

At Speech & Growth Clinic, we use standardised assessments like the CELF-5 to get a clear picture of your child’s communication skills.

This assessment looks at areas such as:
• Understanding language
• Expressive language (talking)
• Grammar and sentence structure
• Following directions

Because it’s standardised, your child’s results are compared to other children the same age. This gives us meaningful insights, including:
✔️ Percentile ranks (how they compare to peers)
✔️ Age equivalents
✔️ Clear strengths and areas to support

It’s not about labelling - it’s about understanding how to best support your child’s growth. 🌱

If you’ve ever wondered where your child is at, this is a great place to start.

Is your child’s speech hard to understand? 🗣️

👶 Age 2 → strangers understand ~50% of words
👧 Age 3 → ~75%
🧒 Age 4 → ~90–100%
(Mayo Clinic, 2022)

Early speech support helps them communicate clearly and prevents future risk with learning to read and write.

Books become even more powerful when they’re interactive! 📖🐻 Using puppets during Goldilocks and the Three Bears helps children maintain attention to the language rich story line, engage, and have greater opportunities to hear and use target vocabulary.

📖 Book of the Week: Vivi & Oki – What’s That Sound? .home

This is one of our favourite new books to use with toddlers, preschoolers and late talkers. Instead of focusing on long or complex words, the book models fun exclamatory sounds like “uh oh!”, “wow!”, “oh no!” and other playful noises children naturally love to imitate.

These sounds are a great starting point for speech development because they’re easier for little ones to copy and don’t require complex speech production. When children successfully imitate these sounds, it helps build confidence, engagement and early communication skills.

Try reading it slowly, exaggerating the sounds, and pausing to give your child a chance to copy you!

Have you tried using exclamatory sounds with your child before? 👂
