All About Speech Therapy

[mykono]

Hi!

My gal had some speech clarity issues and were assessed by Michelle. Subsequently, was assigned to another speech therapist. Michelle is good but she doesn’t take in patients. Think she owns the place . As for the therapist, find her rather soft. My gal attended the sessions for 8 mths…some improvements initially but became stagnant . Currently, attending sessions at ISSW. The therapist seems more confident and assuring …as she has just started the session…shall wait and see.

Hi Mykono


Thanks for your sharing. Yes Michelle is the owner and guess she has to take care of many mgt issues and thus no time for individual lessons. Can I ask who u are seeing at her place？ Do they advise u what to do back home? I find that if there is no guidance on how we parents can practice, the kid won’t progress much by going there once a week.

Can I ask how old is your child and since when she started talking? I can’t wait for my gal to call me. The only word she says is YES and also not that accurate… Worry worry…

My son saw Geraldine at Leap Frog for 1.5 yrs. I found her to be patient and always open to feedback on how we can do better for the benefit of my son.

Thanks Windie for sharing


Actually I realize that the best therapist is US, people who interact with the kid daily. Lately my girl has become more active and responsive after I moved her out from her cot!

Now she is sleeping in between her 2 elder sisters on a big mattresses and she loves it

Hi Three Cs,


My girl used to attend Leapfrog ST sessions once a wk when she was 2yr+. After abt 6 mths we stopped the sessions due mainly to cost reason and also the lack of much progress for my girl. They changed the speech therapist twice so I can't remember their names.
Thereafter we approached KKH for assistance and we realized the long waiting time for each session. Fortunately they recommended us to try checking with a few centers and we chose SPD@Tiong Bahru. Each session is more affordable at $60+ for 45mins. Initially we started with weekly sessions and now my girl is attending monthly sessions at the advice of the ST. My girl is now 4yr+ and she has improved a lot

You may wish to check with KKH for other cheaper alternatives. I'm sure your child will grow up to be happy and chirpy like mine. All the best!

Hello!

I ran across this thread about speech therapist… I know of a great home-based speech therapy program, but they serve currently within the Klang Valley, Malaysia. If you or anyone you know is looking for speech therapy for your child in that location, I can get more info!

I know of Kidspace Learning Place located at the old fire station at upper bukit timah offering speech therapy. Heard that their fees is lower than most private therapists and the therapist is experienced with children, can engage them. You might want to check them out.

My son attended classes with Speech Inc, Yitian, based at Forum Shopping. She charges $170 per hour. She is very experienced and has a masters in Speech. My son was with her for over 3 years and found her to be very effective. She is not cheap, can be quite firm with parents (some do not like her style) but the firm approach works in the long run, which I found to my son’s benefit. She is totally booked up though.
