Our Services
At Articulate Kids, we offer comprehensive services designed to identify and address difficulties with:
- Speech Sound Development: We help children who struggle with producing specific speech sounds clearly, ensuring their speech is understandable.
- Language Development: This includes difficulties with understanding spoken language (receptive language) and expressing thoughts and ideas (expressive language), both spoken and written.
- Fluency: We provide support and strategies for children experiencing stuttering or other fluency disorders.
- Social Communication: We help children understand and use the skills needed for successful interactions with peers and adults, including understanding non-verbal cues, taking turns, and understanding social rules.
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): We assess and recommend appropriate communication systems for children who find it difficult to communicate verbally.
Our assessment process begins with a thorough initial consultation to understand the child's history and concerns. This is followed by a detailed assessment conducted by our therapist, which may involve observations, standardized tests, and parent/carer questionnaires. Based on the findings, we develop a personalized therapy plan with clear goals and strategies tailored to the child's needs and family's priorities.
We are conveniently located at Scotsdale Cl, Petts Wood, Orpington, making our services easily accessible to families in the local area. Our therapists work collaboratively with parents, carers, and school staff to ensure consistent support and progress for the child.
