Adolescent Speech Pathology

Many adolescents with mild learning difficulties in the primary schooling years may often experience greater difficulties as the demands of the secondary curriculum increase. Often, this may be explained by underlying undiagnosed language difficulties.

At the Speech Language & Literacy Clinic, we offer personally and functionally relevant treatment for each individual adolescent, resulting in greater empowerment, confidence and academic achievement.

• Reading comprehension
• Effective note-taking
• Examination techniques (i.e. preparing for multiple choice and short answer responses)
• Mind mapping
• Essay writing techniques
• Planning, structuring and editing class assignments.

We also offer intensive evidence-based programs for adolescents with significant literacy difficulties including Dyslexia.
