Articulate Kids Petts Wood
Welcome to Articulate Kids Petts Wood, your dedicated partner in supporting the speech and language development of children in our local community. Located at Scotsdale Cl, Petts Wood, Orpington BR5 1NU, our clinic is committed to providing expert assessment and therapy services tailored to the unique needs of each child.
At Articulate Kids Petts Wood, we understand that clear communication is fundamental to a child's learning, social interaction, and overall well-being. Our team of qualified and experienced Speech and Language Therapists work closely with children, parents, and caregivers to identify areas of difficulty and develop effective strategies to promote progress.
Our Services
We offer comprehensive speech and language services, including:
Speech Sound Disorder (Articulation and Phonology): Helping children produce sounds accurately and in sequence, improving clarity of speech.
Language Impairment: Addressing difficulties with understanding spoken and written language, as well as expressing thoughts and ideas verbally or in writing.
Stuttering: Providing assessment and evidence-based interventions to help children manage fluency and build confidence in their speaking.
Stammering: (Note: Stammering and stuttering are often used interchangeably; this reflects common practice.)
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD): While primarily a motor skills disorder, DCD can impact speech motor control and thus be addressed within our scope where communication challenges arise.
Receptive and Expressive Communication Skills: Enhancing understanding and the ability to use language effectively for various purposes.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): Introducing alternative ways to communicate for children with significant speech or language difficulties.
Our Approach
We believe in a child-centered approach. Assessment involves gathering information from parents/caregivers and direct observation of the child. Therapy sessions are tailored to the individual child's goals, needs, and interests, aiming to make the process engaging and motivating. We work collaboratively with families, providing practical strategies and support to help children succeed both in therapy and at home and school.
Our clinic in Petts Wood is designed to be a welcoming and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to participate in their therapy journey.
