Areas I Serve: Speech Therapy in Blyth

Welcome to The Speech Connection – your trusted provider of private speech and language therapy services in Blyth. I’m Christie, and I am an experienced speech therapist who is dedicated to supporting your children, and their families in overcoming communication challenges.

Understanding Speech and Language Challenges

Speech and language difficulties can impact a child’s ability to connect with others and express themselves effectively. Some of the most common challenges we address include:

• Speech Sound Disorders: Challenges with producing sounds correctly, which can affect speech intelligibility and self-esteem.

• Motor Speech Disorders: Issues like apraxia and dysarthria that make it difficult for children to plan and execute the movements required for clear speech.

• Language Delays: Struggles with understanding or using language, including vocabulary, grammar, and sentence construction.

• Social Communication Difficulties: Challenges in understanding social cues, engaging in conversations, and using appropriate communication strategies.

If your child is facing any of these issues, I can provide the targeted support they need to succeed.

Why Choose Private Speech Therapy in Blyth?

Private speech therapy offers numerous advantages, including:

• Personalised Attention: Sessions tailored to your child’s unique needs ensure a focused and effective therapy plan.

• Flexible Scheduling: I work around your family’s routine to provide convenient appointment times.

• Comprehensive Support: I will collaborate with both children and their parents, educators, and other professionals to create a supportive environment for progress.
