What is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy (speech pathology) helps children develop speech sounds, language (understanding and expression), fluency (stuttering), social communication, and voice. At daar, we use engaging, play-based, and age-appropriate methods backed by research, so therapy feels positive and progress is measurable.

Our speech pathology services also support children with developmental delays and co-occurring needs through coordinated health services and collaboration with occupational therapists and schools.

Private speech therapy typically offers more flexibility in appointment times, quicker access, and individualised sessions based on your family’s preferences. NHS speech therapy is free and follows national guidelines, but waiting times may be longer and sessions can be less frequent depending on demand and resources. Both options aim to support your child’s communication needs effectively.

How Our Approach Works

1. Comprehensive assessment and collaborative goal-setting

This initial stage is where we take the time to get to know your child and your family—because the best therapy plans are built on a deep understanding of the person they’re for.

2. Understanding Needs

We start by exploring your child’s strengths, challenges, learning style, and daily routines. This may include observing how your child communicates, plays, and responds in different environments. We also listen closely to your goals as a parent, whether they’re focused on improving communication, reducing challenging behaviours, or supporting school readiness.

3. Tailored Planning

Using the information from our assessment, we develop a highly personalised therapy plan. This plan outlines targeted goals, the strategies we’ll use, and the settings where therapy will take place. Individualised therapy plans use applied behaviour analysis for children and other proven methods.

4. Ongoing Progress Tracking

Progress is carefully measured through data-driven insights, regular reviews, and open communication with parents. We share updates and discuss adjustments to the plan so it continues to meet your child’s needs as they grow. We celebrate every achievement—big or small—because each step forward matters.
