What makes your therapy different?

Our approach is naturalistic and child-led. We build sessions around what genuinely engages your child, rather than running the same fixed drill for every case. Sessions are also creative and fun by design - our space is purpose-built for this - so kids look forward to coming rather than dreading it.

Are your therapists qualified?

Yes. All our speech and language therapists are registered with AHPC (Allied Health Professions Council).

Is speech therapy suitable for non-verbal autistic children?

Yes. We work with a high number of non-verbal children, and many go on to become verbal communicators. Progress looks different for every child, but non-verbal at the start doesn't mean non-verbal long-term.

How do I know if my child needs speech and language therapy?

If your child is missing speech or language milestones, is hard to understand compared to peers their age, or struggles with back-and-forth conversation, it's worth getting an assessment — it doesn't commit you to anything, it just tells you where your child stands.

How long does a typical therapy session last?

Sessions run for 1 hour, which includes time at the end for feedback with parents.

Can I be present during my child's therapy sessions?

Yes, we encourage it. We like parents to be present so they can see what's going on, and sometimes even take part directly. If you'd rather not be in the room, that's completely fine too.

Do you offer home therapy services?

Yes, home-based sessions are available alongside our in-clinic sessions, for families who prefer therapy to happen in their child's own environment. However, session availability will be much more limited.

What makes your therapy different?

Our child-directed, fun-focused approach will ensure that your child is fully engaged and having fun while learning, during sessions. We believe in an approach that drives generalisation of skills learnt through intrinsic motivation, rather than methods which have heavy emphasis on learning via rote (i.e. memorisation). These, coupled with the vast experience of our therapists who have worked across multiple settings working with children with different conditions, mean that your child will be in good claws – sorry, hands!

Are your therapists qualified?

Our Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists are all fully registered with the Allied Health Professionals Council (AHPC) and all staff are highly qualified with the relevant qualifications in their respective fields. Our therapists also have different certifications/credentials across various specialisations.

Is speech therapy suitable for non-verbal autistic children?

Yes, in fact it can be argued that speech therapy is essential for these children. We specialise in supporting the learning and care for autistic children – including those who are non-verbal. This can include the involvement and integration of other specialities (e.g. Occupational Therapy), as well as working closely with our Early Intervention Programme (EIP)/School Readiness Programme (SRP) team to generalise goals in a holistic learning plan.

How do I know if my child needs speech and language therapy?

While you won’t be able to tell for sure based on tracking milestones alone, if your child seems to be falling behind several speech and language development milestones, and/or is displaying some of the commonly listed red flags – it will be best to consult with a speech therapist instead of choosing to wait it out. Seeing a speech therapist will provide clarity on your child’s speech and language development, allay fears and guide you on the next steps necessary.

How long does a typical therapy session last?

Standard therapy sessions last for 60 minutes.

Can I be present during my child's therapy sessions?

Yes, parents are welcome to observe and participate in therapy sessions. Parental carry-over at home is crucial for a child’s therapy progress, which is why your involvement in sessions to observe what is being done, or to even learn some of the strategies done in session is always welcome and encouraged.

Do you offer home therapy services?

Yes, we do. Unfortunately, we are only able to service limited locations (within 10km radius from the centre), and will be based on therapists’ schedule availability. In general, we recommend attending sessions at the centre as we have purpose-built the rooms to ensure therapy is conducive, as well as have access to all the necessary resources and equipment readily.

Why Us

Why Choose Us for Speech and Language Therapy?

Creative, play-based sessions

We don't drill your child with worksheets and flashcards. Sessions are built around what they actually enjoy — games, stories, characters — so language practice happens without it feeling like practice.

Certified and registered

Our therapists are registered with AHPC (Allied Health Professions Council).

Genuinely fun for kids

Kids look forward to their sessions instead of dreading them. That matters more than it sounds — a child who wants to be there engages more, and engagement is what actually drives progress.

Real, tracked results

Every child gets clear therapy goals from day one, reviewed regularly, with progress reported back to you using our Dino Tracker — not just "doing well," but specific, measurable steps forward.

My son had been going to Bernard at Dinosaur for over 12 months. I have found Bernard to be very knowledgeable, engaging, patient, and responsive to feedback. Importantly, he has been willing to liaise with the school and other support services to ensure the best intervention.
