Social communication therapy

Does your child find social situations confusing or overwhelming?

Some children find it difficult to use language effectively in social situations, even when their speech and vocabulary appear age-appropriate.

Social communication difficulties may affect turn-taking, staying on topic, understanding social cues, using appropriate language in different situations, or joining in group interactions.

These difficulties can impact friendships, confidence and participation at school. Children may want to interact with others but feel unsure how to start or maintain conversations.

Speech and language therapy supports children to develop social communication skills through structured activities, practical strategies and real-life practice. Parents are supported with guidance to reinforce skills at home and in everyday situations.
