4- 5 YEAR OLDS - GETTING PREP READY Blogs by Speech Therapist Dr Sandra McMahon PhD

SpeechNet Speech Pathology conducts one-on-one Prep and Grade 1 screens. These can give you insights to any strengths and potential gaps. 

In addition SpeechNet Speech Pathology Brisbane conduct specific School Readiness Groups. Call use as we run these throughout the year as well as group intensives in the Xmas holiday period.  We run extra ones in Term 3 BUT numbers are limited so book ASAP.

Our groups are conducted by speech pathologists practised in conducing phonological awareness skills (literacy skills) and social skills (Making and Keeping Friends). 

We also conduct joint speech pathology and occupational therapy groups - these are great! In addition to the the reading, spelling and social skills support there is an additional focus on pencil grip, writing letter formation and regulation skills to improve attention skills in class.
