Speech and language differences may be the first signal of a wider developmental picture. We review communication in context — hearing, play, social interaction, learning and family bilingualism — and coordinate with speech therapists and schools as needed. Send an enquiry so the clinic team can review your concerns.
Overview
Late talking, unclear speech, difficulty following instructions or trouble putting sentences together can each have different reasons. Bilingual and multilingual families are common in Singapore, and we take language exposure into account.
Our role is developmental — assessing whether speech and language differences fit into a wider pattern and coordinating with speech therapy or audiology as needed.
