Language disorders
Is your toddler a late talker with no words or slow language development? Do you have a quiet preschooler or school aged child who is still using short sentences and mixing up he/she and other grammar? Clear Kids can help by providing comprehensive assessment and therapy services to set them up for success.
Stuttering
Has your child developed a stutter that comes and goes? Not sure how to manage this and whether it requires intervention? Our therapist is skilled in the Lidcombe program and can assist in providing a second opinion, assessment, monitoring and treatment if required. Clear Kids follows the latest guidelines and can assist you in making the right decision for your family.
Literacy difficulties
Is your child stuck on the same reading level making little or no progress? Not sure what you can do to help them at home? Do they forget the sight words you have been over a million times? We take an evidenced based approach to literacy and can provide you with assessment of their phonological awareness and language skills as well as guidance on additional assessments that may be required.
