Welcome to Articulate Kids Speech and Language Therapy, located at Scotsdale Cl, Petts Wood, Orpington BR5 1NU. We are dedicated to providing expert assessment and therapy services for children within our local community.
At Articulate Kids, our focus is on helping children reach their full communication potential. We understand that speech and language difficulties can impact a child's ability to learn, interact socially, and build confidence. Our team of qualified and experienced Speech and Language Therapists are passionate about supporting children and their families through assessment and tailored therapy programs.
We offer a comprehensive range of services designed to address various speech, language, communication, and swallowing needs. Our assessments are thorough and individualised, identifying the specific challenges a child faces. Based on the assessment findings, we develop personalised therapy plans aimed at achieving meaningful goals for your child.
Our Services Include:
• Speech Sound Disorder (Articulation and Phonology): Helping children produce sounds accurately and in sequence.
• Language Impairment: Addressing difficulties with understanding spoken language (receptive language) and expressing thoughts through spoken language (expressive language).
• Stuttering: Providing support and strategies for children who stutter.
• Fluency Disorder: Working on smooth and effortless speech flow.
• Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): Introducing alternative ways to communicate for children with significant speech or language difficulties.
• Stammering: (Note: This seems to be a duplicate or alternative term for Stuttering, but we'll keep it as listed above for completeness based on common practice). We provide support and strategies for children who stammer.
• Swallowing Difficulties: Assessing and treating feeding and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).
• Play-Based Therapy: Engaging children in fun, motivating activities to target communication skills.
• Parent/Caregiver Involvement: We believe parent/caregiver training and involvement are crucial for generalising skills learned in therapy sessions.
Our therapists work collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and educational settings (like local schools in Petts Wood and surrounding areas within Orpington) to ensure a consistent approach and the best outcomes for the child.
