Speech Therapy
The Speech Therapy program was developed as a result of interest from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island mothers on what they could be doing to build their children’s confidence and self-esteem before going to school.
The program is designed to help the children feel like they have been understood and to strengthen communication and bonding between mothers and their children. Speech therapy activities are built into the entire Young Aboriginal Mothers Program using techniques like language stimulation, modelling communication and interaction work.
