Early Advantage Speech Pathology Townsville

Townsville Based Paediatric Speech Pathology. We diagnose, treat and support communication difficulties in children under 13 years of age.

Early Advantage Speech Pathology Townsville is committed to creating exceptional outcomes for toddlers, children and their families. We provide a mobile service to Townsville schools and also have online telehealth video conferencing options. We want there to be no barriers to accessing the speech therapy services you need. Our speech pathologist has extensive experience in shaping short and long-term goals to match the school curriculum, so we have the knowledge and skill to not only treat specific communication difficulties, but also to provide your child with the building blocks they need to achieve in the classroom. By fostering a fun and engaging learning environment (we take the time to find out what your child LOVES, and use that to learn with), we can get the very best out of your child and help the potential inside of them shine. We pride ourselves in providing toddlers and children with the communication skills to build long lasting personal connections, achieve both inside, and outside of the classroom, and feel empowered for life. We also realise that as the parents of young children, your days are sometimes a little crazy, which is why we try to make accessing our service as easy as possible. We can provide speech therapy support to anyone in Queensland. Using the very latest in evidence based practice, our speech pathologist will personally tailor a plan to help your child succeed in any areas of difficulty.

Did you know that many speech sounds are typically acquired by age 4 and a child should have most sounds by the time they are 6? 👀

Kids who are 3 years of age or older should be understood by family and people outside of the family circle. 🗣🗣🗣🗣

✍️ Some kids who have difficulty recognising syllables and sounds could have trouble sounding out the words that they read. These speech errors may also impact on spelling as a child might be writing the words as they say it because these are the sounds that they hear (e.g says a ‘t’ for ‘k’ so ‘cat’ becomes ‘tat’). ✍️

If you find people are having a hard time understanding what your child is saying or you are constantly translating for your child a consultation with a speech pathologist should be considered 🌟!

Unsure about your child’s speech sounds? Call our speech pathologist for a chat and book in a free 20 minute initial online consultation 🤗.

Here are some tips to optimise your child’s Telehealth/ online sessions! 👩‍💻🧑‍💻

📺 Remove distractions - minimise background noise (e.g parents on phone, TVs, etc.) and remove items that are highly distracting or might interrupt the session.

📱Prepare your device - make sure you have received the link for your online session. Also make sure your device is compatible and up to date. Usually the following browsers work best - Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Apple safari.

👀 Set the device up at eye level and make sure there is enough space for games/ workbooks- Be sure your child is comfortable and has adequate seating. This might look like a desk or small table and chair. Also make sure there is room for “movement breaks”! 🕺

Finally… HAVE FUN! 🤩🥳 We incorporate ‘brain breaks’ between activities to help kids stay on task. This might be an online game your child enjoys or a movement activity 🤗

Hi all,

We’re closely monitoring the updates around the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Although for the time being our region is mildly affected, we want to act fast and ensure we’re taking all the precautionary measures to avoid any risks. This is why we’d like you all to pay extra attention and implement the following guidelines:

If you or your child is feeling sick, stay at home until you’re completely asymptomatic. Common COVID-19 symptoms are coughing, difficulty breathing and fever, but we ask you to exercise caution if you have the slightest symptoms in order to prevent potential infection.

If you or your child are diagnosed with COVID-19, please inform us and follow medical advice. You can return to therapy only after you’ve fully recovered, with a doctor’s note confirming your recovery.

If you have traveled to any of the high-risk areas (or if you’re currently there), please contact our office as soon as possible. We will ask that you do not return to therapy until the completion of your 14 day self isolation period. This applies even if you didn’t travel, but you live with someone who did travel to a high-risk area recently (e.g. a spouse, a flatmate or a child).

Hygiene:
We’re already cautious when it comes to office hygiene, but in times like these, we ask you to ensure you follow these official guidelines:
* Wash your hands regularly throughout the day for at least 20 seconds at a time.
* Use hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol
* Avoid touching your face – especially eyes, nose, and mouth – with your hands.
* Cover your mouth with your elbow when you cough or sneeze.
* Open the windows regularly to ensure regular fresh air flow.

THE GOOD NEWS!

Beginning this week we will begin our implementation of Telehealth practice via ZOOM. Please contact our office to discuss your child’s suitability for Telehealth and how we can continue to support you through these challenging times.

Your health is our top priority, so we will keep an eye on any developments around the coronavirus outbreak and will let you know if there are any extra precautionary measures we all need to apply. There’s no need to panic – let’s all contribute to keeping each other safe.
