  • Assessment & Treatment

    Upper Beach Speech utilizes a dynamic approach to assessment and treatment. Formal and informal assessment measures may be used over several sessions, while concurrently beginning therapy. Goal-setting is then informed by the child’s response to different treatment approaches and strategies, which promotes progress from the first session.

Areas of Practice

  • Assessment and treatment of speech sound production disorders. Your child’s speech may be difficult to understand or specific speech sounds may be made incorrectly.

  • Assessment and treatment of delayed language skills or language-based learning disabilities. This includes “late talkers”, limited vocabulary, difficulties with grammar/sentence structure and ability to follow directions.

  • Targeting phonological and narrative-based skills that are essential for beginner readers. This includes understanding and retelling stories, letter-sound correspondence and sounding-out words.

  • Making the unwritten rules of conversation and social interaction explicit for children. This may include turn-taking, staying on topic and asking and responding to questions.
