We connect with your child where they are in their communication stage, and understand your child’s strengths and challenges faced in communication
We build and develop upon your child’s strengths & specific needs – focusing not only on the speech-language and communication progress but also on holistic care and socio-emotional well-being of your child
We focus on cultivating a strong relationship with your child and family as we journey together in developing better communication skills
We incorporate play-based activities to engage your child and move on to more structured activities when appropriate
Our practices are evidence-based and we deliver consistent, high quality care
Where applicable, we incorporate the use of other forms of Augmentative & Alternative Communication (e.g., visual supports, Key Word Sign, Picture Exchange Communication System PECS) to help your child’s understanding and expression
We signpost you to the relevant professional(s) when applicable so that your child can access the right kind of support
Our niche focus areas include supporting children aged 18 months to 8 years old, who may exhibit difficulties with:
Pre-verbal communication / Early Language Skills
Understanding and/or expressing spoken language
Emotional understanding and social awareness
At Happy Talk, we prioritise personalised quality care and believe in providing “in person” service. We provide individual therapy to your child unless recommended otherwise. Our belief is that therapy should be individualised and continually modified to meet your child’s needs.
We emphasise parent involvement in the process as we believe in the pivotal role families play in facilitating practice of skills with the child and generalisation into daily settings. Sessions are held at our child-friendly clinic space, that is located at NUH Medical Centre.
