Overall, Perth Speech Therapy believes that:

All children need people to advocate ad fight for their rights to be the best that they can be.

Building a positive rapport with a child is essential for change and progress to occur.

Developing self-esteem in the child will lead to the child being more confident and more willing to have a go at tasks.

A good rapport with the family and commitment to working together is integral to the child developing the skills being targeted.

Children learn most effectively through a play-based approach. Hence all programs are fun, interactive, motivating and relevant to the goals.

Involving the parents and training them how to deliver follow-up activities at home is an important element of the therapy.

All achievements should be celebrated.
