ALL children learn and develop at different stages. Communication and speech in children is one of those skills that grow and develop uniquely. At times children will need a boost to accelerate and support their communication skills.

Fiona Crawford, the manager at Impact Speech Pathology said, “Impact Speech Pathology work to a process that will initially assess the child’s capabilities, set goals and set therapy tasks that they can take home to work on.”

With the rise of additional provisions to contend with the COVID-19 pandemic, the consultants at Impact Speech Pathology have taken to online consultations with as many as fifty percent of their clients interacting through Telehealth, an online application that enables them to connect face to face via the internet.

Some kids are referred to Impact Speech Pathology through their GP but for others, it is the parents who recognise that some additional coaching is required to give their kids better communication skills. Impact Speech Therapy is at 1 Collett St, Shepparton and can be contacted on 0439 385 072.
