Kindergarten Screening Programs
Kindergarten Screening Programs that involve the prevention or early identification of communication difficulties is a crucial aspect of a speech pathologist’s role. Many studies in the field of speech-language pathology and education indicate that an early delay in children’s communication skills can lead to longer-term educational and social interaction difficulties.
Talk & Learn Speech Pathologists provide screening programs and intervention support in kindergartens, pre-schools and childcare centres to support the early identification of children at risk of communication difficulties together with expert advice to support parents and professionals working with these children.
Professional Development
Professional Development learning packages to whole school staff or smaller learning communities are offered by speech pathologists at TALK & LEARN Speech Pathology.
