Playful chatter leads to lifelong conversations! 🤸♀️ Did you know that play is a powerful tool for developing speech and language skills in little ones? Through play, children learn to communicate, express themselves, and build vocabulary. So, let's get playing and watch their language skills blossom! 💬

Auditory processing refers to the brain's ability to interpret and make sense of sounds. Research has shown that auditory processing is one of the best predictors of reading and spelling and, therefore, academic success.
It involves a complex series of steps, from sound detection to speech recognition, and is essential for communication and learning. The auditory system processes sounds in both ears, combining and analyzing the information to create a unified perception of sound.
Effective auditory processing enables us to focus on relevant sounds, filter out background noise and understand speech in various environments.
However, deficits in auditory processing can lead to difficulties with speech recognition, attention and learning and can be addressed with targeted training and strategies during speech-language therapy.

Did you know that auditory processing is more than just hearing? It is the ability to interpret, understand, and make sense of the sounds around us!
For some, auditory processing can be a challenge, leading to difficulties with focus, communication, and even anxiety.
We loved this informative picture about auditory processing! Here are some helpful tips to identify possible issues.

The "Wait and See" approach is not always the best option...
Research shows that early intervention may reduce secondary speech and language issues. It has also been proven to yield better results! Don't "Wait and See", rather, assess and examine to ensure your child receives the help they need.

John 20:17-31:
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' ”
May you experience the love and closeness of Christ on this blessed day. As Christ rose to heaven, He sent His spirit to live in our hearts!

Communication means listening to tone, language, and meaning. True listening is to hear what happens between the lines.

We as therapists at Coralié Vermaak Speech-Language Therapists are passionate about children and we aim to help every child to reach their full communicative potential. Our practice was established in 2005 and through the years we were blessed with phenomenal growth and amazing children crossing our paths. We, as excellently qualified practitioners, are excited to work with each child which walks through our doors. We strive to treat every child with love and compassion and our goal is to help your child communicate effectively through parent-centered therapy.
We are mainly a paediatric practice serving infants up to Grade 12 learners. However, we also provide therapy to adults. We especially focus on the following areas:
Articulation (This refers to the ability of accurately pronouncing different speech sounds. Articulation difficulties can potentially cause unintelligible speech and an inability to communicate effectively).
Receptive Language (This refers to the ability to understand language).
Expressive Language (This refers to the ability to correctly express his/her thoughts by using words and sentences within speech. This includes sentence construction, sentence length and grammar).
Academic Language (Academic language proficiency is crucial for a child to be able to cope in the classroom context).
Auditory Processing (This refers to the ability to understand and process what is being heard, in the presence of normal hearing and intelligence. It is important for reading and spelling success).
Pragmatics (This refers to the ability to cope within a social context by using functional eye-contact, appropriate register, turn-taking and topic maintenance).
Early Communication Development (The earlier we can start addressing a communication difficulty, the better our chances for success. A child is never too young for therapy. This also includes parent training).
Reading abilities (This refers to reading speed, fluency and comprehension).
Spelling abilities (This refers to the understanding of written sounds, as well as the understanding and application of spelling rules).
Stuttering, stammering, cluttering and normal disfluencies (This refers to any condition affecting the fluency of speech).
Swallowing disorders (This refers to excessive drooling, eating difficulties due to tongue weakness and dental problems due to incorrect tongue placement).
Voice problems (Including vocal misuse as well as problems with intonation and vocal quality).
Bi-/ Multilingual children (Referring to language confusion, as well as the lack of a solid language basis).
Hearing Loss (After proper hearing aid fitting/ cochlear implant by an Audiologist, we support children with the acquisition of speech and language.
“Communication is not only the essence of being human, but also a vital property of life.” (John A. Piece)
