Services for people of all ages

Our mission is making sure that all New Zealanders can access speech-language therapy when they want it.  We are passionate about making sure people can express themselves in language, so they can be understood for who they are and what they have to say.  Let us help you or help someone else you care about to show up as themselves through communication, so they can connect authentically with other human beings and be known, accepted, and loved for who they really are.


Give your child the help they need

You want your child to communicate properly, to have friends, and do well at school and in life.  Are you concerned that your child could be having problems with listening, understanding, speaking, reading, spelling, or writing, or with attention, memory and thinking for learning?  Let us help you get to the bottom of what is going on for your child so you can be sure to get them the right help for the right things and they can succeed.

 
Specialised literacy

Reading, spelling or writing problem standing in your way?  Let us help uncover why these things are hard and help improve written communication skills for school, study and work.  We support both children and adults to get on with literacy using  instructional strategies based on the Science of Reading and practical, effective, time-saving workarounds.
