Why Early Speech Support Matters in Springvale

Springvale is a culturally diverse suburb within the City of Greater Dandenong. Many families speak more than one language at home, and children may need support navigating bilingual language development.

Research shows:

• 1 in 5 children begin school with speech or language vulnerabilities.

• Around 8–10% of children have speech sound disorders.

• Up to 15% of preschool children experience language delays.
  
  

In multilingual communities like Springvale, early assessment helps differentiate between language difference and language delay, ensuring children receive the right support at the right time.

Results Speak for Themselves!

The team at Expansive has been incredible in supporting our son's speech and language development. The Speech Pathologist took the time to understand our son's challenges and engaged him in a child-led way that encouraged learning through play.

The assessment process was thorough, professional, and delivered with warmth and care. The team implemented an evidence-based program thoughtfully designed to enhance our son's expressive language skills, and we’ve already seen noticeable improvements in his communication skills. The results truly speak for themselves.

We highly recommend the team at Expansive for their expert, engaging, friendly, and warm approach to speech pathology services!

As parents, we tried to encourage our kid to speak and even roped in their educators but were largely unsuccessful as they were resistant and unwilling despite our best efforts. We reached out to Pauline for an initial discussion around our concerns and started speech sessions, initially weekly, then fortnightly, before reducing sessions to monthly due to the progress that our kids' made. We would like to thank Pauline and especially her team member, Jiaying, who has made a huge difference to our lives. Jiaying was patient, endearing and made learning unassumingly effortless and fun. Jiaying was very much well-loved by our kiddo, who often asks when she is coming to our home. Pauline was readily available to answer any questions we had. Our kid can now access and use alot more words and has also transformed into a much more confident speaker who even volunteers to sing and dance along in front of a crowd. Even the educators were amazed by their growth. BIG THANK YOUU team, we really appreciate the help and support that was provided every step of the way^^
