Personalised support to help children communicate with confidence
At Nurture ’n’ Grow Speech Pathology, we provide therapy tailored to each child’s unique needs. Our goal is to help children develop the skills they need to express themselves, connect with others, and succeed at school and in everyday life. We work closely with families, educators, and health professionals to create a circle of support, ensuring every child feels encouraged and understood.
Speech Sounds
Clear speech is essential for children to be understood and to feel confident when communicating. We support children to develop accurate speech sounds through engaging, personalised activities that match their stage of development. Improving speech clarity not only helps children be understood by peers and adults but also strengthens their confidence, participation at school, and enjoyment in everyday interactions.
Expressive Language
Strong expressive language skills allow children to share their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. We help children learn to use words, sentences, and grammar more effectively so they can communicate with clarity and purpose. This may involve expanding vocabulary, improving sentence structure, or building storytelling skills. Developing expressive language supports both academic success and positive social connections with others.
Receptive Language
Understanding language is the foundation for learning, following directions, and joining in play. We support children to improve their ability to process instructions, questions, and stories in ways that make sense to them. Strengthening receptive language skills helps children feel more confident in classrooms, at home, and in social settings. This growth also allows them to engage more fully with teachers, family members, and friends.
Literacy and Early Literacy
Early literacy is a critical building block for success at school and beyond. We help children develop strong foundations in reading, writing, and phonological awareness (such as recognising sounds in words). Our sessions are designed to make learning engaging and enjoyable, while supporting children to build confidence in their abilities. Developing literacy skills early gives children the tools they need to thrive in their education and feel proud of their achievements.
Stuttering
We provide strategies and support to help children speak more fluently and confidently. Stuttering can affect a child’s ability to participate fully in conversations, school, and play. Our therapy focuses on reducing the impact stuttering has on daily life, building confidence in speaking, and helping children feel more comfortable expressing themselves. We also work closely with families to provide practical tools and ongoing support at home.
Social Communication
Social communication skills are key to building friendships and feeling connected with others. We support children to develop practical skills such as turn-taking, understanding social cues, and engaging in meaningful conversations. Therapy also focuses on helping children recognise and respond to emotions, navigate group interactions, and maintain friendships. By strengthening these skills, children gain confidence in their ability to connect, collaborate, and enjoy positive social relationships.
