Speech Therapy for Autism (ASD)
We are proud to support neurodiverse children across Canterbury. Our approach to speech therapy and language therapy for autism is strictly neurodiversity-affirming. This means we respect your child's unique way of thinking and communicating. We do not try to "fix" or mask autistic traits; instead, we focus on functional communication, including language skills (including AAC - Augmentative and Alternative Communication devices if needed), emotional regulation, and self-advocacy, tailored entirely to the child's interests.
Feeding and Swallowing (Dysphagia)
Speech pathologists are also the primary experts in feeding and swallowing, as well as in addressing communication disorders. If your child is an extremely fussy eater, gags on certain textures, or struggles to transition to solid foods, we provide safe, stress-free feeding therapy that incorporates language intervention activities to make mealtimes enjoyable again.

Global Developmental Delay (GDD)
When a child is delayed in multiple areas (speech, motor skills, cognitive skills), a multidisciplinary approach, including facial massage, to addressing speech problems is often required. We work collaboratively with occupational therapists, educators, and paediatricians to support your child's holistic development.

Voice Disorders
Children who frequently yell, scream, or strain their voices can develop vocal nodules or chronic hoarseness. We teach vocal hygiene and safe voice production techniques, including voice therapy and introducing different food textures, to protect their vocal cords for life.
