Every child can become an Effective Communicator

Speech Pathologists working together with Educators and Carers to help children develop speech, language and communication skills.

At Learn2Communicate, we provide much more than just Speech Pathology services for children.  We equip Parents and Educators with vital knowledge, capacity and skills to nurture the speech, language and communication skills of all children.

The ability to communicate effectively is the most important skill we will develop in a life time. Communication enables our true participation in society and is what connects us to others.

Sadly up to 20% of children start school with difficulties in speech and/or language with many of these children then struggling to develop peer relationships, literacy and learning.

Our mission is to see every child be provided with the opportunity to become an effective communicator.

The role Educators play

A child’s Educator is often the first port of call for parents.

Parents are often concerned about their child’s development but don’t know where or who to go to for help.

It is of vital importance that Educators have the knowledge, tools and skills at their fingertips to provide Parents with accurate information and advice regarding speech and language development. Early Intervention is crucial.

Learn2Communicate has developed a range of user friendly, practical and evidence-based resources and courses to assist educators in identifying, referring and nurturing the communication skills of children. Karen Trengove (Speech Pathologist and Director – Learn2Communicate) provides regular workshops around Australia for educators and is also developing a range of online courses and webinars for Educators. All training aims to build educator skill, capacity and confidence to make a significant difference to the lives of children with speech, language and learning challenges.

Interesting Facts

The ability to communicate is the most important skill we will develop in our lifetime.

Communication disorders can effect behaviour

If children with communication disorders are not identified as early as possible and supported, they often become very frustrated and angry or passive and shy.

Most children with communication disorders look just like other children and are just as clever and this makes the identification of communication disorders often difficult and complex.

These children are at high risk of not achieving a positive transition to school, having social difficulties with their peers, and struggling to learn the basics of reading and writing.

15% of Australian kids have communication development issues

In Australia, up to 15% of children have some sort of difficulty in developing communication skills. Unfortunately many of these children do not obtain the help they need.

Most children with communication disorders look just like other children and are just as clever and this makes the identification of communication disorders often difficult and complex. These children often go unnoticed or have their communication problems mistaken for something else such as behavioural difficulties.
