Language & Literacy Therapy in Bryanston
Speech-language assessment and therapy for children whose vocabulary, comprehension, sentence formulation, phonological awareness, reading, spelling or written-language skills are affecting learning and communication.
What might you notice?
Following longer or more complex instructions is difficult.
Vocabulary, word-finding or sentence formulation seems weaker than expected.
Storytelling, explaining ideas or organising language is hard.
Sound awareness, rhyming, blending or segmenting is difficult.
Reading, spelling or written expression is causing concern.
A child has a known learning difficulty and language support is part of the broader plan.
What the first appointment may need to clarify.
Assessment is selected according to the history and clinical question. Not every person needs every component.
Literacy support works best when the underlying language profile is understood.
Therapy may target vocabulary, comprehension, sentence structure, narrative skills, phonological awareness or other language foundations that support classroom learning and literacy. Where the difficulty extends beyond speech-language scope, collaboration or referral to the appropriate educational or health professional may be recommended.

Common questions about this pathway.
Is dyslexia treated only by a speech therapist?
No. Dyslexia and written-language difficulties can require multidisciplinary support. Speech-language therapy may address relevant spoken-language, phonological-awareness and literacy-related communication skills as part of the broader plan.
Should I bring schoolwork?
Yes. School reports, teacher feedback, reading or spelling samples and previous educational or therapy assessments can help connect clinic findings to classroom function.
Can hearing affect language or literacy?
Hearing status can be relevant when communication or learning concerns are being assessed. If hearing needs clarification, the practice can guide the appropriate audiology pathway.
Describe the concern in ordinary language.
