Eastside Speech Solutions

Eastside Speech Solutions A vibrant Speech Pathology practice in Randwick, Sydney. Eastside Speech Solutions is passionate about helping people to communicate better.

Every day we witness how lives are transformed when a person's ability to speak and understand dramatically improves. One in seven Australians experience some form of communication disability during their lifetime. Developing and maintaining the ability to communicate is a journey we all take starting as a toddler first mimicking our parents, to a preschooler learning to speak smoothly and correctly without stuttering, then as a school aged child we begin to read and speak with confidence through to becoming an adult who relies on clear speech for work and play. Better communication is what we are all about! The team at Eastside Speech understand that sometimes the journey to good communication is not easy and believe that effective, positive speech therapy can be the key to improved confidence at school, in work and in relationships. We offer a wide range of speech therapies to assist with literacy, difficulties saying sounds correctly (pronunciation), stuttering, apraxia, language comprehension or language delay, accent modification and accent reduction as well as working with those suffering communication impairment as a result of brain injury, stroke or other neurological conditions. Eastside Speech Solutions understands that adults and children are different and we tailor our therapy sessions to accommodate individual's needs and abilities. The team's experience allows us to focus our speech therapy to support and develop good communication regardless of whether we are helping adults or preschoolers, native speakers or clients from overseas. Our clients reap the benefits of the teamwork of a group of therapists with a broad range of experience. Contact us on 9313 8980 to discuss how we could help you or a family member communicate better.

👀🌏 While it may vary across different cultures and contexts, the importance of using appropriate eye contact is often positioned as a polite social gesture. However, there’s so much more to good eye contact than a mere sign of courtesy.

👁️ Eye contact can tell us how a person might feel, their focus or interest on someone or something, as well as their levels of comfort and vulnerability in particular situations.

🤝 It can also help to foster mutual trust between people, and enable communication partners to read each other’s immediate reactions.

When it comes to eye contact, there really is more than meets the eye! ✨

🎲✨ Story Cubes is a versatile resource that can be used to support language skills, such as creating sentences and narratives, as well as encouraging creativity. 💭🎨

You could roll two cubes and make simple sentences with the items (e.g., the witch walked in the forest). 🌲🧙‍♀️

You could also create longer sentences, and even stories, with multiple cubes. 📖 After rolling multiple cubes, you could discuss different ideas from the pictures and generate a narrative with a beginning, middle and end. 🌟

The different pictures on each cube make it easy to also practise using adjectives and descriptive language. 💬🌈

💬✨ Ever heard your little one ask “why?” a hundred times a day? That’s actually a great sign! 🌟

Each WH-question (who, what, where, when, why, how) builds language, thinking, and conversation skills — and kids learn them step by step 👶🧒

🧩 Encourage curiosity, model good answers, and make it fun! Whether you’re reading a book, baking cookies 🍪, or playing peekaboo 🧸 — every question helps their communication grow. 💗

👩‍⚕️ Our speech therapy team loves helping little learners find their voice!

Play-based therapy is one of the best ways to build language skills, and the Peppa Pig playset is full of opportunities! 🐷🎢

Here’s how we use it in speech sessions:
👀 Vocabulary: name characters, actions (slide, climb, spin), and objects (house, ladder, playground).
🗣️ Sentence building: “Peppa is going down the slide!” or “George is at the top!”
❓ WH- questions: “Who’s on the red slide?” “Where is Peppa going?”
🎭 Imaginative play: create short stories or role-play social situations with the characters.

Play encourages natural communication. When it’s with familiar characters, kids are even more motivated to join in! 💕

🤔 Have you ever been stuck on how to encourage your toddler to communicate?

In a fast-paced world, with screens increasingly distracting both parents and children, it is difficult to engage toddlers — especially when parents themselves are caught up “juggling” chores, work, etc.

Making a list of 5 “go-to” items your child really loves can make all the difference. Some children are “food” motivated, others love physical games like being “lifted up in the air,” a specific stacking game, bubbles , or a “lift-the-flap” book.

Take the time to identify your child’s “go-to” items and you can then begin to use them to practice:
👀 Looking at the item
🤲 Reaching for the item
🗣️ Labelling the item
🙏 Requesting the item

Practice using “communicative tempters” as part of your daily routines. Keep them handy and you might be surprised how much your child will love these daily interactions with their favourite person — and the added bonus: their favourite tempters!

🧩 The good old puzzle is an all-time favourite game—and it’s also a great way to stretch your child’s language skills!

Instead of focusing on whether the puzzle is built correctly or how long it takes to finish, try commenting on the process of playing together. Talk about the details and features of the puzzle pieces you see.

If your child is having a hard time finding the right pieces or figuring out how it all fits together, try acknowledging their feelings and offering support. You could say something like:
💬 “I can see that it’s getting a little tricky for you and making you feel frustrated. Would you like me to give you a bit of help?”

These little moments of shared play create connection—and they often lead to a joyful celebration once the puzzle is complete! 🎉🧠💙

🎉 Looking for a fun way to build your child’s language and speech skills? Try Hedbanz — a playful and versatile resource that kids love! 🧠🎲

Here’s how you can use it in therapy or at home:
🔹 WH- Questions:
"Where can you find it?" "What colour is it?" – Boost comprehension and reasoning through playful questioning.

🔹 Descriptive Language:
Encourage rich descriptions like “It’s big, grey, and has four legs!” to grow expressive vocabulary.

🔹 Speech Sounds Practice:
Work on target sounds (like ‘th’) in a natural, conversational setting — “Is it something that you can find at the zoo?”

💬 Hedbanz makes learning feel like play — and that’s when the best communication happens!

🗣️ What are WH- questions and why do they matter?

Understanding and answering WH- questions (like where, what, why, and when) is a key part of language development in young children.

But did you know these questions develop in a predictable order?

🔹 WHERE – Easiest to answer (linked to people & objects in sight)
🔹 WHAT / WHO – Focuses on labeling and identifying
🔹 WHY / HOW – Requires reasoning and sequencing (more complex!)
🔹 WHEN – Most abstract (related to time, develops later)

🌟 Support your child by meeting them at their current level — and gently building up their skills one question at a time!
