Lindsay can provide support with expressive language skills including grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary. She can also provide support with receptive language skills including following instructions, answering questions and learning concepts.
Speech sounds
Articulation refers to how your child pronounces sounds and words. Lindsay can provide support in order to ensure your child has clear speech that can be understood by others. Speech also had strong links to literacy skills.
