When it comes to our children’s confidence there are a number of factors that can affect their ability to clearly communicate and therefore express themselves. 

Evidence has shown that 1 in 7 people have a communication disability with 20% of four year olds struggling to understand and use language. 

Delays in speech can significantly impact on reaching milestones, cause frustration, learning difficulties or even social isolation.

Research supports working on skills at a young age to achieve the best outcomes and preventing or reducing lifelong implications making early intervention key!

Local business Bambini Health is a paediatric allied health clinic located in Kingsgrove offering speech pathology and occupational therapy to children of all abilities. Predominantly, working with children aged 0-18 years.

When it comes to Speech pathology, Qualified therapists can work on a range of skills including speech sounds (pronunciation), language (understanding and expressing), stuttering, play, reading, writing and spelling to improve confidence, reach milestones and overcome delays. 

Whereas qualified Occupational Therapists can support a wide variety of skills which can significantly improve a child’s ability to engage in their everyday living tasks.

The impact of communication difficulties can affect a child’s ability to function in their daily life, like speaking in class, ordering a meal in a restaurant or looking for a job. It can impact on their interactions at home, work and socially as well as affect their confidence when building connections.

These difficulties can affect learning at school including literacy, numeracy and social skills. Long term impacts include poor academic performance and social isolation. It can also impact on a child’s emotional development and cause feelings of frustration when trying to communicate their needs,
ideas and opinions.
