Expert Speech and Language Therapy for Children in Petts Wood, Orpington
Welcome to Articulate Kids Speech and Language Therapy, your dedicated partner for supporting the communication and language development of children right here in Petts Wood, Orpington, BR5 1NU.

What is Speech and Language Therapy?
Speech and language therapy addresses difficulties with spoken language (understanding and using words), speech sound production (how we say sounds and words), language comprehension, expressive language (getting ideas out), social communication skills, and fluency (like stammering). These challenges can impact a child's ability to participate fully in daily activities, from nursery and school to making friends and expressing their needs and feelings.
Our Assessment and Therapy Services
At Articulate Kids, we begin with a thorough assessment to understand your child's unique needs. This involves gathering information from parents/caregivers and, if appropriate, observing the child. Based on the assessment findings, we develop an individualised therapy plan. Our therapy sessions are engaging and play-based, designed to be fun and motivating for the child. We work collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and school staff (if applicable) to ensure consistency and support across all environments. Our goal is always to help children develop the skills they need to communicate effectively and confidently.
