Amy Honner Speech Pathology can assess and treat the following:

  • Speech Sound Delays and Disorders - you and others may be having difficulty understanding what your child is saying. Your child may have a history of ear infections or "glue ear" which can often impact on the development of speech sounds.

 

  • Language Delays and Developmental Language Disorders - your child may be having difficulty with forming sentences or tuning in and listening to instructions.

  • Issues involving the Mouth, Throat and Voice - your child may drool incessantly, have a history of cleft palate, sound "muffled and blocked up", have vocal nodules as diagnosed by an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon or have a chronic hoarse voice.

  • Early Literacy - your child may be having difficulty identifying the first sound in a word, identifying words that rhyme and difficulty identifying syllables in words.

 

  • Dysfluency (commonly known as stuttering) - your child may be repeating the first sound in a word, repeating whole words or phrases, or have a silent build up of pressure when going to speak, known as blocking. Amy is experienced in the treatment of stuttering and is also trained to provide the most evidence-based treatment.  For children up to 6 years of age this treatment incorporates the the Lidcombe Program of Early Stuttering Intervention.

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - your child may already have a diagnosis of ASD or may be awaiting a diagnosis of ASD. Early intervention is crucial to maximising development for your child’s social communication skills.

 

  • Swallowing and Feeding Difficulties - your baby may be having difficulty progressing from smooth baby food to more textured food.  Your toddler or pre-schooler may only eat a narrow range of textures i.e. chicken nuggets, white bread and hot chips. They may have difficulties chewing or may gag often. Your child may have a history of tube feeding or reflux.  Mealtimes may be extremely anxiety provoking for you and your child.
