LanguageUnderstanding and using words

Does this sound like your child?

Every child is different. These are some of the reasons families get in touch. Tick any that sound familiar.

• They use fewer words than other children their age
• Following instructions is hard
• Putting words together into sentences is tricky
• They find it hard to ask or answer questions
• Telling you about their day, or retelling a story, is a struggle
• They seem to understand less than you'd expect

How we help

• Understanding and talking. We support receptive language (understanding) and expressive language (using words and sentences).
• Real situations. We practise in meaningful activities that suit your child's age and interests.
• Part of everyday life. Simple ways to build language into everyday routines like book-sharing, play and mealtimes.

Sessions are usually 45 minutes, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on what your child needs. In clinic, at home, kinder, school or online. NDIS, Medicare and private. About funding
