Early Intervention

At CommuniKids Speech Therapy, our speech pathologists recognise the importance of early intervention to support young children achieve their potential. Delayed language skills at a young age can lead to challenges within a variety of areas, including participating in school and social activities. It can also lead to frustration from young communicators who are struggling to communicate their needs and wants. Early intervention combines play-based therapy with providing families with strategies to encourage language development, and may target language, play skills, early social skills, gestures, or other communication areas. Our therapists at CommuniKids have experience using Hanen strategies, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and Key Word Sign to support young children to become effective communicators.
