Eastside Speech Solutions

A vibrant Speech Pathology practice in Randwick, Sydney. Eastside Speech Solutions is passionate about helping people to communicate better.

Every day we witness how lives are transformed when a person's ability to speak and understand dramatically improves. One in seven Australians experience some form of communication disability during their lifetime. Developing and maintaining the ability to communicate is a journey we all take starting as a toddler first mimicking our parents, to a preschooler learning to speak smoothly and correctly without stuttering, then as a school aged child we begin to read and speak with confidence through to becoming an adult who relies on clear speech for work and play. Better communication is what we are all about! The team at Eastside Speech understand that sometimes the journey to good communication is not easy and believe that effective, positive speech therapy can be the key to improved confidence at school, in work and in relationships. We offer a wide range of speech therapies to assist with literacy, difficulties saying sounds correctly (pronunciation), stuttering, apraxia, language comprehension or language delay, accent modification and accent reduction as well as working with those suffering communication impairment as a result of brain injury, stroke or other neurological conditions. Eastside Speech Solutions understands that adults and children are different and we tailor our therapy sessions to accommodate individual's needs and abilities. The team's experience allows us to focus our speech therapy to support and develop good communication regardless of whether we are helping adults or preschoolers, native speakers or clients from overseas. Our clients reap the benefits of the teamwork of a group of therapists with a broad range of experience. Contact us on 9313 8980 to discuss how we could help you or a family member communicate better.

Looking for a fun, engaging book that builds speech, language AND social skills at the same time? 📚✨

'A Squash and a Squeeze' by Julia Donaldson is a fantastic choice! This repetitive, rhythmic story about a little old lady who thinks her house is too small is perfect for developing a child’s skills and supporting therapy home practice.

🗣 Speech sounds:
‘sh’ – she, sheep, hush
‘m’ – come, moo
‘k’ – cow, cluck

📚 Building vocabulary:
Size concepts – small, big, tiny, crowded

✏️ Grammar:
Using because (“She is upset because the house is small”)
Comparatives (“Now the house is bigger”)

💛 Feelings:
frustrated, overwhelmed, relieved, grateful

🤔 Perspective:
“Was the house really small?”

🧠 Problem solving

Here are some other fun ideas:
• Use toy animals as you read and talk about the story
• Draw the house before and after
• Use a box and physically “squeeze” toys in and out
• Practise retelling the story in order

A simple story with so many powerful therapy opportunities! ✨

🧱 Mini LEGO sets = BIG therapy wins 🧱
We love using mini LEGO sets (especially superhero builds) in speech therapy sessions. They’re compact, motivating, and incredibly powerful for targeting language, play, and executive functioning skills.

✨ Why mini LEGO sets work so well in therapy:
• Narrative & story grammar - create simple problem-solution stories
• WH-questions -who, what, where, why during play
• Following directions -step-by-step builds with visual support
• Turn-taking & joint attention -shared construction and play roles
• Fine motor skills -small pieces, big coordination gains
• Vocabulary & concepts -actions, emotions, spatial language

Want your little one to talk more? 💬✨

You don’t need fancy toys, flashcards, or special games — the magic happens in your everyday moments together. 🏡💛

Try this:
👩‍🍳 Talk about what you’re doing
⏸ Pause and give them time to respond
🔁 Repeat and expand on what they say
👶 Get face-to-face and copy their sounds
🚗 Follow their lead and talk about what they love

Small changes. Big language growth. 🌱

Need more support? Our speech therapy team is here to help every step of the way! 💙

🚀 Therapy favourite alert! We’re loving the Small Magnetic Rocket by Janod in speech therapy sessions. This beautifully made magnetic wooden rocket is far more than a toy, it’s a versatile language and play-based resource.

✨ Why we use it in sessions:
• Supports early narrative skills (beginning-middle-end)
• Targets WH-questions (Who’s in the rocket? Where are they going?)
• Builds sequencing and problem-solving
• Encourages pretend play and joint attention
• Great for fine motor coordination with magnetic pieces

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers working on language, play, and interaction, and a hit every single time.

📖 Story time is a powerful language-building moment

You don’t need to read every word to build language. While sharing a book, you can naturally support communication by:
✔️ Naming and labelling
✔️ Asking simple WH questions
✔️ Talking about actions
✔️ Giving small directions

These little interactions help grow vocabulary, understanding, and early storytelling skills — all through connection and play 💛

If your child finds language during story time tricky, gentle support and simple strategies can make a big difference ✨

🌿 As you spend more time outdoors with your child during these summer months, remember to… talk the walk!

👀👂👃 Instead of asking questions about what you might see as you walk to your local park, engage your other senses and comment on the sounds and smells you may come across.
For example:
✨ “Ooh, I smell someone cooking sausages!”
✈️ “Yes, I saw and heard the plane too!”

🔑 Use verbs (words that describe actions) over nouns (words to identify people, places, or things).
While both are important parts of your child’s vocabulary, verbs form the main part of sentences and are more meaningful for long-term communication 💬

🎨 Foster your child’s imagination by playing talking games such as ‘Silly Sentences’ and ‘I Spy’.
For example:
🕊️ “The bird is flying in the sky and dancing on the sand!”
👋 “I spy with my little eye something that feels rough.”

✨ Why does Pretend Play matter?

Pretend play is far more than “just play.” Research shows that strong pretend play skills support:
🧠 Narrative development - sequencing, story structure, problem-solving
📚 Academic learning - reading comprehension, early writing, flexible thinking
🗣️ Language skills - vocabulary, sentence formulation, social communication

When children imagine, plan, and act out little stories, they’re practising the same skills needed for success in school-age learning.

💡 3 Simple Ways to Model Pretend Play at Home 💡
Here are some easy ways families can build pretend play during everyday moments:
☕️🍵 Tea Party Time! Pretend to pour drinks, stir tea, taste food, and offer it to your child. Add fun storylines like, “Oh no, the tea is too hot! Let’s blow on it together.”
🧸🐨 Soft Toy Adventures! Give a favourite teddy a simple “problem” - teddy lost a hat, teddy needs a bath, teddy wants to visit the park. Act it out step by step.
🍳👨‍🍳 Mini Chef Cooking! Use toy food or safe kitchen items to pretend to chop, cook, taste, and serve. Narrate the actions: “We need one more carrot for our soup.”

If you’re noticing that your child finds pretend play or storytelling tricky, early support and simple strategies can go a long way 💛
