Speech Therapy for Verbal Dyspraxia with Sarah Colebourne MSc, BSc, RSAdipSpLD, dipTEFL, MRCSLT, MASLTIP, HCPR registered
Welcome to the Dyspraxia Therapy page of the Speech, Language and Literacy Therapy Practice in Colchester, Essex. The Practice is owned and run by Sarah J Colebourne Specialist Speech, Language and Dyslexia Therapist and offers a caring and confidential service.. Sarah specializes in therapy which helps children with oral or verbal dyspraxia. She sees children from 2 to 18 years of age. She has 31 years of experience treating children with all types and degrees of oral and verbal dyspraxia from all over the UK and internationally. She has worked at the Nuffield Hearing and Speech Centre which is a specialist Centre for children with developmental verbal dyspraxia. Sarah has often treated children with complex multiple needs and children who do not talk at all. She has also worked extensively with children with speech delay, language delay, comprehension difficulties, expressive language disorders, word recall difficulties, auditory memory problems and specific learning difficulties. She is experienced in teaching, training and advising Parents, Speech and Language Therapists, Teachers and Teaching Assistants. She liaises with all other professionals working with children. As many children with speech and language issues go on to need help with reading and spelling, Sarah is also a qualified Dyslexia Tutor.
Therapy at the Speech, Language and Literacy Therapy Practice can begin as young as two years of age as developing good communication skills is essential for socialising and learning and children need to be able to communicate when they begin school. Therapy for oral or verbal dyspraxia is structured and includes work on speech discrimination, speech sound awareness, production of single sounds, simple and complex words, sentences and connected speech. Invaluable therapy tools include picture symbols which represent the consonant and vowel sounds in speech, finger cues which make the child aware of how the tongue and lips are placed when making a speech sound, and pictures and toys representing target words.
Your child’s strengths are used to overcome speech and language difficulties in a playful manner. Parents are present during assessment and therapy sessions. At the end of each session parents and children receive verbal feedback, picture materials for home practise and a written record of therapy targets covered with ideas to help in a Speech and Language Therapy book for parents. This book can also be shown to other professionals involved with your child.
