Teen Speech Therapy Tweed Heads
Tweed Coast Speech Pathology offers teen speech therapy in Banora Point and the wider Tweed Heads area for young clients who are dealing with communication disorders or delays in the development of speech and language. These skills are an essential part of everyday life as an adolescent or young adult, and play a major role in social interaction, academic achievements and being able to express oneself with confidence.

How Does Young Adult Speech Therapy Work?
The first step is to contact our clinic for an appointment. If you’re unsure whether speech therapy is right for your teen, Andrea can discuss this with you prior to making a booking.
A comprehensive assessment will be made during the first session to determine the client’s individual needs and difficulties in communication. A therapy plan will then be created with tailored strategies and goals to suit the adolescent’s unique requirements, their personality and medical background.
Therapy plans can consist of any number of strategies, techniques and activities to be practiced routinely. Andrea will employ the methods that best target your teen’s needs and can strengthen their speaking, reading and writing skills.
All of our treatment plans are done in full collaboration with both the young adult and their family so that appropriate care and support can be maintained at home as well as in the clinic.
