Eastside Speech Solutions

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 way to build your child’s language and speech skills? Try Hedbanz — a playful and versatile resource that kids love! 🧠🎲

Here’s how you can use it in therapy or at home:
🔹 WH- Questions:
"Where can you find it?" "What colour is it?" – Boost comprehension and reasoning through playful questioning.

🔹 Descriptive Language:
Encourage rich descriptions like “It’s big, grey, and has four legs!” to grow expressive vocabulary.

🔹 Speech Sounds Practice:
Work on target sounds (like ‘th’) in a natural, conversational setting — “Is it something that you can find at the zoo?”

💬 Hedbanz makes learning feel like play — and that’s when the best communication happens!

🗣️ What are WH- questions and why do they matter?

Understanding and answering WH- questions (like where, what, why, and when) is a key part of language development in young children.

But did you know these questions develop in a predictable order?

🔹 WHERE – Easiest to answer (linked to people & objects in sight)
🔹 WHAT / WHO – Focuses on labeling and identifying
🔹 WHY / HOW – Requires reasoning and sequencing (more complex!)
🔹 WHEN – Most abstract (related to time, develops later)

🌟 Support your child by meeting them at their current level — and gently building up their skills one question at a time!

🐝🐞✨ Play, Learn, Talk! ✨🐞🐝

Did you know Play-Doh isn’t just fun – it’s also a powerful tool for building language skills? Using insect Play-Doh, children can:
🦋 Learn new words (big butterfly, tiny ant)
🐜 Practice sentences (“The bee is flying!”)
🐛 Answer WH-questions (“Where does a spider live?”)
🌸 Build stories and imagination (“The caterpillar found a leaf…”)

Simple play can lead to BIG communication growth 💬💡

👉 Try it at home: Make an insect together, talk about what it looks like, what it can do, and where it lives.

✨ Did you know UNO can be more than just a family game night favourite? In speech therapy, it’s a powerful tool for building language skills in a way that feels natural and fun for kids!

When we play, we’re not only learning the rules of the game but also practicing important communication skills:
💬 Sentence building: “I put down a red 8!” “Oh no, I need to pick up again.”
🗣️ Expanding vocabulary: colours, numbers, actions, and more.
🤝 Social skills: turn-taking, waiting, and encouraging others.
🧠 Following directions:listening carefully and responding in the moment.

By turning “+4” into an opportunity to talk, describe, and connect, we’re helping develop language in a playful, supportive way.

📘❤️ ‘The ABC Kids Book of Feelings’ is a great resource for teaching kids (and adults alike) the range of our feelings - and the value of expressing them appropriately!

With simple and clear illustrations, it helps to:
🌟 Explore a variety of positive and negative emotions within relationships, events, and other relevant contexts
🧠 Create shared language around the prickly emotions kids often find hard to express - like sadness, anger, jealousy, and fear
🌈 Provide nuances to how feelings operate, such as how they can “come and go” and “change and grow”

A fantastic addition to any therapy room, classroom, or home library! 📚✨

🎲 Game: Who Did This Poo? 💩🕵️‍♂️

This isn’t your average memory and matching game – and we aren’t just talking about its subject matter!

In the clinic, we have used it as a fun activity to target goals like:
🔍 Formulating questions such as “What’s a civet?” and “Why is the panda’s poo green?”
🧠 Building vocabulary around different nouns (e.g., animal names and body parts) and adjectives (e.g., textures and sizes)
⏳ Working on using past tense words accurately (e.g., ‘did’, ‘found’, ‘was’)
🗣️ Modelling structured conversations for parents who are using the Lidcombe Program to help their children achieve stutter-free speech
