Why choose Speech Candy?
Our Values and Mission
Our priority is to support your child’s speech, language and social-emotional development and to help them achieve their fullest potential. We are committed to delivering high-quality care through evidence-based intervention that addresses and supports each child's unique communication needs.
Child-centered
We follow a holistic approach to therapy, where treatment is individualized and tailored to each child's needs. We also believe in the importance of collaborating closely with family members, incorporating their concerns and values into the process of setting individualized therapy goals and empowering them every step of the way. Remember, you are the key to your child’s success!
We are Bilingual
It can be challenging to discern whether your child truly presents with a communication difficulty or if the issue arises simply from it being their second language. Don’t worry! We’re here to assist you in determining whether the communication difficulty is present in one language or both. At Speech Candy, we are able to provide assessment and therapy in English and Cantonese.
Our Services
Speech Sound Disorders
Does your little one struggle to pronounce certain sounds and words? Do you sometimes find it difficult to understand what they are trying to say despite trying their hardest? Or do they find it difficult to control their lips, jaw and/or tongue? Speech sound disorders (SSD) can impact communication skills and research shows that children with SSD are found to be at increased risk for reading difficulties.
Language delay and
Developmental Language Disorder
Does your child struggle with following instructions, answering questions, formulating sentences, and/or learning new vocabulary? Receptive and expressive language difficulties can impact your child’s ability to communicate effectively, engage in meaningful conversation with others, and participate in school.
Social Communication
Is your little one able to take turns and share? Are they able to maintain eye contact when interacting with you? As they grow older, are they able to stay on topic and maintain conversations? Do they understand social cues (e.g., body language, tone of voice, facial expressions) and use appropriate language in different situations? These issues can impact a child’s ability to form and sustain relationships.
Dyslexia and Literacy
Does your child struggle to sound out or recognize words? Are they able to read smoothly? Do they find it difficult to spell out words? Are they able to write in a coherent and organized manner? Literacy is a crucial component of education, and these skills may have a significant impact on your child’s success in school.
Stuttering
Does your little one occasionally repeat syllables, words, or even entire phrases when they talk? Do they get ‘stuck’ in the middle of a sentence and struggle to continue after an obvious pause? It is common for young children to exhibit some of these behaviours as they develop their language skills, but if they become more noticeable and persist for over 6 months, it may be a good idea to consult a Speech-Language Pathologist!
Voice Disorders
Does your voice or your child’s voice constantly sound raspy or strained? Or is it often breathy and does it require considerable effort to project your voice so that others can hear you clearly? Do you experience regular pitch breaks? A voice disorder can affect the pitch, volume and quality of your voice, which can make it difficult for one to speak clearly and comfortably.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Does your child exhibit restrictive and repetitive behaviours and interests? Do you notice issues with their social communication? Do they struggle with sudden and unexpected change? Do they often echo what you’d said instead of responding? Regardless of whether your child is showing signs of ASD or is already diagnosed, remember that early intervention is key!
Feeding
Is your little one struggling to chew their food? Are they taking a long time to finish a meal? Do they find it difficult to accept different food textures? Are they struggling to drink from a cup or straw? Do they choke or gag during or after eating and drinking? Feeding disorders can result in various complications that affect an individual’s health and nutrition.
