Our approach
At Laugh Aloud Speech Co., we provide practical, play-based speech therapy tailored to your child’s strengths, needs, and everyday life. We support babies, children and teens through evidence-based therapy that feels meaningful, engaging and achievable.
We work closely with families to build communication skills that carry over into real life — at home, in childcare, school, and everyday routines. Sessions are designed to support confidence, connection and independence, not just progress in therapy.
We have a special interest in supporting bilingual and multilingual families, social communication, executive functioning, and neurodivergent children, with therapy that respects each child’s individual communication style and strengths.

Speech Therapy FAQs for Children
Answers to common questions about speech delay, autism, feeding, and communication.
What age do you see?
We support babies, children and adolescents.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required for private speech pathology.
How do I know if my child needs a speech pathologist?
Your child may benefit from speech therapy if they:
-
Are hard to understand
-
Have difficulty following instructions
-
Struggle socially
-
Find it hard to express their ideas
An early assessment can help you understand what support may help.
Will my toddler outgrow speech and language difficulties?
Some children do catch up naturally, but many benefit from early support.
If your child is not talking, difficult to understand, or is falling behind, early speech therapy can help reduce frustration and support communication development at home and in everyday situations.
Can speech therapy help with feeding or picky eating?
Yes. Speech pathologists can support feeding difficulties in children, including limited food variety (picky eating), sensory sensitivities, and difficulty chewing or swallowing.
Feeding difficulties can impact nutrition, growth, and family routines, which is why early support can be helpful.
Feeding therapy focuses on helping children eat safely, expand the range of foods they accept, and make mealtimes more positive and manageable.
Do you help teenagers?
Yes. We support teenagers with literacy, reading comprehension, language, executive functioning, learning, and social communication challenges.
Therapy is tailored to each young person’s strengths and goals, supporting success at school, friendships and everyday life.
Support can help build strategies for greater confidence and independence.
