Based in the heart of Petts Wood, Orpington, Articulate Kids is dedicated to providing expert assessment and therapy services for children experiencing difficulties with speech and language. Our centre at Scotsdale Cl, Orpington BR5 1NU is your local resource for helping children communicate effectively, build confidence, and succeed academically and socially.
Speech and language difficulties can impact a child's ability to express themselves, understand others, interact socially, and perform well in school. Articulate Kids understands the unique challenges these difficulties can pose and offers compassionate, professional support tailored to the individual needs of each child.
Our assessment process begins with a thorough evaluation conducted by our qualified Speech and Language Therapist. This involves gathering information about the child's developmental history, observing communication skills, and using standardized assessments to identify specific areas of strength and difficulty. This comprehensive understanding is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
Following assessment, our therapy sessions are designed to target specific goals identified for the child. Our interventions are based on evidence-based practices and are tailored to be engaging and motivating for the child. We work on a wide range of skills, including:
Articulation and Phonology: Helping children produce speech sounds accurately. Receptive and Expressive Language: Building understanding and vocabulary, and developing sentence structure and grammar. Fluency: Addressing stuttering or disfluencies. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): Introducing alternative ways to communicate if verbal speech is limited. Social Communication: Developing skills for interacting appropriately in social situations. Stuttering Management: Providing strategies to manage and reduce the impact of stuttering.At Articulate Kids, we believe in a collaborative approach. We work closely with parents, caregivers, and other professionals involved in the child's life, such as teachers and school staff, to ensure consistent support and positive outcomes. We provide regular feedback on progress and involve parents in the therapy process whenever possible.
If you suspect your child may benefit from speech and language therapy, we invite you to contact us. Our team at our Petts Wood, Orpington clinic is ready to discuss your concerns and determine if assessment is appropriate.
