Testimonials

“My 8 year old son has been coming to Talk Speech and Language Therapy for around 12 months. He has language, communication and memory issues. Talk have been amazing with him and he understands concepts now that he never would have done without their intervention. They have always been supportive of myself and my son, highly professional, caring, understanding, flexible, empathetic and patient. I highly recommend them.”

-Parent of child attending clinic

“The assessment was fantastic and went into great detail. The length of time gave the therapist the time to observe ‘R’ much more and also get more background of the behaviours we were seeing and were concerned about. We had a clear strategy explained to us with goals communicated which allowed us to share with the nursery setting.”

-Parent of child attending clinic

“Liv took time to understand G’s speech and language challenges to tailor her approach, this was adjusted at each session to mirror G’s progress. Not only did G’s speech and language improve dramatically over the 6 week course of therapy but more importantly, her confidence grew exponentially which in turn has had a huge effect on her learning in all subjects. I would thoroughly recommend Liv and Talk Speech and Language Therapy.”


-Parent of child attending clinic

“Emily was incredibly kind, calm and perceptive during a really difficult time for us. We had exhausted all other options and Emily worked with our 1yo girl to support her to not only start eating voluntarily, but enjoy her food. We are eternally grateful!”

“My daughter had a course of speech and language therapy at Talk Speech Therapy and I can highly recommend.
Really fun and interesting sessions, and we were given things to work on each week before the next session which really helped. By the time the 10 sessions were finished, my daughter was talking in short sentences (we started with single words and pointing) and her confidence was vastly improved.”
