How can Eat Play Say Speech Pathology help your child?
Every child is an individual so each child's therapy plan is tailored to their own personal needs, wants and goals.
Development of Talking and Understanding
Jane is trained to help activate the development of children's skills in talking and understanding.
She works in fun ways that build on your child's strengths and interests to help them reach their communication goals.
​
Feeding and Swallowing Difficulties
Jane is experienced in helping children with feeding and swallowing difficulties. She can provide guidance and support to help your child have a positive relationship with food and mealtimes and to eat and drink safely and comfortably.
Social Communication
Children flourish when they learn to get on with others. Jane can help your child improve their social communication skills, including connecting, turn-taking, listening, sharing, cooperating and making friends.
She can also advocate for your child to help others understand your child's needs and communication style.
Working together with Families and Others
Jane believes that working collaboratively with families is the key to success. She provides guidance to help families support their child's communication development in the little moments that occur throughout everyday life.
​
Children's development doesn't only happen at home. Jane can work with other important people in your child's life such as carers, educators and other health practitioners to ensure everybody is working together to support your child.
