Welcome to Articulate Kids Speech and Language Therapy, your dedicated partner for expert assessment and therapy services located right here in Petts Wood, Orpington, BR5 1NU. We are committed to supporting the communication development and overall well-being of children within our local community. Our practice, situated at Scotsdale Cl, provides a welcoming and professional environment where our experienced therapists work closely with children to address a range of speech, language, and communication needs.
At Articulate Kids, we understand that clear communication is fundamental for a child's learning, social interaction, and emotional health.

We offer comprehensive evaluations to accurately identify areas of strength and difficulty, followed by tailored therapy programs designed specifically for each child's unique needs and goals.
Our Assessment Services
Our assessment process begins with a thorough understanding of the child's history and presenting concerns. We conduct individualised assessments that may include observations, parent/carer questionnaires, standardised testing, and analysis of the child's communication skills in various contexts. These assessments help us pinpoint specific areas requiring intervention, such as articulation and phonology (speech sound production), language comprehension and expression (receptive and expressive language), fluency (stuttering), voice, pragmatic skills (social communication), and literacy development. The assessment findings form the foundation for creating an effective and targeted therapy plan.
Our Therapy Services
Our therapy sessions are delivered with expertise and compassion. We employ evidence-based techniques tailored to the child's age, specific difficulties, and learning style. Our interventions may include:
Articulation and Phonology Therapy: Targeting the production of specific speech sounds to improve clarity of speech.
Language Therapy: Developing receptive and expressive language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, understanding instructions, and following directions.
Pragmatic Skills Therapy: Enhancing understanding of social cues, turn-taking, conversation skills, and understanding non-literal language (like idioms).
Fluency Therapy: Strategies to manage stuttering and build confidence in communication.
Stuttering Management: Techniques and strategies to reduce the impact of stuttering on a child's communication and well-being.
Early Intervention: Providing timely support for toddlers and preschoolers to build strong communication foundations.
We believe in a collaborative approach. We work closely with parents, carers, and other professionals involved in the child's life, such as parents, teachers, and school staff, to ensure consistency and shared goals across different settings. Our therapists are dedicated to building a positive therapeutic relationship with each child, making the process engaging and effective.
