Surfside Speech

Helping your child communicate clearly and confidently is at the heart of what I do. Whether it’s speech sound development, clarity, or tackling complex challenges like Childhood Apraxia of Speech, I provide tailored, evidence-based support to meet your child where they are and help them thrive.

Building strong readers starts with understanding the foundations of literacy. With specialized training in dyslexia and evidence-based reading programs, I can support your child in improving their reading, spelling, and comprehension skills, setting them up for success at school and beyond.

From understanding words to forming sentences and telling stories, language is key to connecting with the world. I offer play-based and structured therapy to help children and adults expand their vocabulary, improve grammar, and express themselves more effectively.

Communication looks different for everyone. I specialize in AAC solutions from no-tech and low-tech tools to high-tech devices like Tobii eye-gaze systems. Together, we’ll find the right tools to empower you or your loved one to communicate in a way that works best for them.

Social engagement is about connection, not perfection. I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach to help clients build meaningful relationships, understand their communication style and how that fits in with other neurotypes, and celebrate their unique ways of communicating.

Mealtimes should be a joy, not a struggle. With extensive training in feeding therapies such as Sequential Oral Stimulatory (SOS) and Brisbane Feeding Clinic approaches, I support children and adults facing challenges with eating, drinking, or transitioning to new foods, ensuring that every bite is safe and stress-free.
