THE WORKSHOP READING CENTRE

Recognising the uniqueness in each child, and acknowledging the challenges they face, The Workshop Reading Centre is focused on supplying the skills to maximise personal and academic potential... So, I thought I'd give a bit of background as to everything a speech therapist does. Firstly, I assess, treat and advocate for speech, language, communication, literacy and swallowing difficulties. Some examples include:Speech production (articulation, phonology) and understanding (auditory processing). Language production (using correct tenses, prefixes and suffixes, functional use of language) and understanding (following instructions, understanding vocab and questions). I also focus on other aspects of communication such as AAC (alternative and augmented communication), if speech production is not an option for a client. I work with clients who stutter or have other fluency disorders. I work with clients who have voice disorders such as hyponasality ("blocked nose" speech), vocal cord..
