Parent training – certified trainers use the ‘Hanen Program’ to empower parents of preschool age children with the skills to support their children’s language development Intervention Programs Speak and Write programs are tailored to the child’s individual needs and are developed using research-based therapy techniques and educational principles. An initial assessment is required prior to commencement of therapy to ensure we understand your child’s needs and can therefore suggest the best method of treatment in collaboration with your family.
All Speak and Write Speech Pathologists use the Spalding Method of language and literacy instruction because it is research based, explicit, systematic and multisensory and therefore optimizes learning. Speak and Write’s ‘Speech and/or Language’ programs are specific to the child’s delay or disorder.
