WonderKids offers paediatric speech and language therapy in Malta, supporting children with communication, speech, language, and feeding difficulties. Our qualified speech-language pathologist provides thorough assessments and evidence-based intervention.
What Does Speech Therapy Help With?
Our speech-language pathologist supports children with a wide range of communication and feeding difficulties:
- Articulation — difficulty producing specific speech sounds clearly
- Phonology — patterns of sound errors affecting speech intelligibility
- Receptive language — understanding spoken language, following instructions, and comprehension
- Expressive language — using words, sentences, and grammar to communicate
- Social communication — pragmatic language skills, conversation, and social interaction
- Selective mutism — supporting children who find it difficult to speak in certain situations
- Stammering — fluency difficulties and stuttering
- Feeding difficulties — oral motor skills, food selectivity, and safe swallowing
What Assessments Do We Offer?
We provide comprehensive speech and language assessments to identify your child's strengths and areas of need:
- Speech sound assessment — evaluating articulation and phonological processes
- Language assessment — standardised tests of receptive and expressive language
- Social communication assessment — evaluating pragmatic language and social skills
- Fluency assessment — for children who stammer or stutter
- Feeding and oral motor assessment — evaluating feeding skills and oral motor function
What Therapy Approaches Do We Use?
Our therapist uses evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's needs:
- Play-based therapy — engaging, motivating sessions that build skills through play
- Parent coaching — equipping parents with strategies to support language development at home
- School consultations — collaborating with teachers to support communication in the classroom
- Group therapy — small-group sessions targeting social communication and language skills
