Why your school needs a Speechie:

Schools are starting to partner with Speech Pathologists worldwide to improve student outcomes. By providing our services 100% online, we deliver:

  • Consistency
  • No travel costs or time
  • No waiting lists
  • No signing in! > We don’t visit your school in person – eliminating risks for your school.
  • Staff training is included > training your staff on the ground so that they can implement strategies long after therapy is completed!
  • Results > Telehealth is shown to achieve the same results as in-person services.

Who can we help:

Speech Therapy exists to support children reach their potential. It is NOT a service reserved for the bottom of the class. Any student that is having trouble participating in classroom tasks due to communication/ literacy difficulties and as a result of this, is not reaching their full potential will benefit from working with a Speech Pathologist. Eligible student may struggle with:

  • Learning at school
  • Understanding instructions or information
  • Following directions
  • Reading and writing
  • Spelling
  • Joining in group activities
  • Making and maintaining friendships
  • Using appropriate behaviour 
  • Expressing their needs or ideas 
  • Relating to teachers and friends
  • Reaching their potential in the classroom (e.g. might be labelled as “lazy”)
  • Completing classroom work

Contact us for our ‘Red Flags Early Identification Checklist’ to see if any of your students need our help!

Measuring Outcomes:

We provide all partnering schools with end of term data and financial reporting.

Our therapy has the potential to provide you with qualitative (e.g. observable increases in confidence, participation, behaviour, compliance attitudes to learning etc.) and quantitative data to measure the impact of intervention (e.g. data from pre- and post- testing). 

Literacy

What is it?

Literacy encompasses reading, writing and spelling.

How we support literacy:

  • At Pop we use evidence-based, synthetic-phonics programs to target literacy.
  • We tailor each therapy program to suit your student; working our way up from their level to achieve long term literacy goals.
  • We prioritise fostering confidence when targeting literacy skills and look at the “big picture” of school and life.

Language

What is it?

Language is different from speech. Language skills include:

  • Expressive language: vocabulary, spoken grammar, sentence structure and the ability to express yourself clearly.
  • Receptive Language: Ability to follow instructions, understand verbal and visual information.

How we support language:

  • We give your student the strategies they need to be able to express themselves clearly. We also support them functionally and help them have access to the curriculum. We focus on functional language goals that will have the greatest impact on the student’s life, long term.

Speech Sounds

What is it?

The ability to produce speech sounds.

How we support speech sounds:

  • We support speech sound delays and disorders by conducting assessments and therapy, all online! If the student has difficulty producing a sound, or swapping one sound for another, we can identify these errors, and work with them towards clear and confident speech!

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

What is it?

Often those with ASD have difficulty hitting their language and play-skills milestones, and have difficulty with social communication. But…ASD is different for everyone! This means that therapy needs to be tailored to the person with ASD.

How we support ASD:

  • At Pop we work at the student’s level and tailor the therapy to their specific strengths and difficulties.
  • Our experienced therapists target goals that include social communication, language building, literacy, and swallowing/meal time behaviour and many more.

Attention & Working Memory

What is it?

  The ability to attend to a task, and retain and manipulate information is more highly correlated with academic success than intelligence (IQ).

How we support attention and working memory:

  • We use evidence-based therapy techniques and teach the student learning strategies that they can employ to compensate for attention & working memory difficulties.
  • We refer you to the right professionals and specialists for the management the student’s working memory difficulties
