Children's speech therapy in Blagoevgrad
The most common reason parents come is that their child speaks less clearly than other children the same age, or gets stuck. Most of my work runs through here.
What parents come with
- Unclear speech and difficulty with particular sounds
- Stuttering and getting stuck mid-word
- Difficulty with the motor planning of speech
- Weak oral musculature
- Cleft lip or palate
How we work
We work through play. With young children that is not a distraction, it is how a child learns - attention only holds long enough when the child is interested. The hour looks like an activity rather than a test, and that is exactly why it works.
One person per hour, so the time belongs entirely to your child and nobody waits in the corridor.
Parents are part of the therapy
What happens at home between sessions counts for more than the hour with me. So you leave with something specific to do in the meantime, not just a date for the next appointment - and it is chosen to fit into your day rather than rearrange it.
What the first visit looks like
A conversation
You tell me what worries you and since when. No testing, no judgement - just a conversation.
Assessment
I observe your child at play and check specific things. It takes about an hour and to the child it looks like an activity.
What happens next
I tell you plainly what I see - including if I think therapy is not needed. If it is, we make a plan.
The other services
Delayed speech and language development
Your child speaks less than other children their age, understands more than they say, or has stopped using words they used to know.
Children with special educational needs
This has been a large part of my work in recent years - and the reason I trained further in the Montessori method for children with special needs.
If something is worrying you, call - even just to ask. I also reply to messages on Facebook and Instagram.
