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.

πŸš€ Therapy favourite alert! We’re loving the Small Magnetic Rocket by Janod in speech therapy sessions. This beautifully made magnetic wooden rocket is far more than a toy, it’s a versatile language and play-based resource.

✨ Why we use it in sessions:
β€’ Supports early narrative skills (beginning-middle-end)
β€’ Targets WH-questions (Who’s in the rocket? Where are they going?)
β€’ Builds sequencing and problem-solving
β€’ Encourages pretend play and joint attention
β€’ Great for fine motor coordination with magnetic pieces

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers working on language, play, and interaction, and a hit every single time.

πŸ“– Story time is a powerful language-building moment

You don’t need to read every word to build language. While sharing a book, you can naturally support communication by:
βœ”οΈ Naming and labelling
βœ”οΈ Asking simple WH questions
βœ”οΈ Talking about actions
βœ”οΈ Giving small directions

These little interactions help grow vocabulary, understanding, and early storytelling skills β€” all through connection and play πŸ’›

If your child finds language during story time tricky, gentle support and simple strategies can make a big difference ✨

🌿 As you spend more time outdoors with your child during these summer months, remember to… talk the walk!

πŸ‘€πŸ‘‚πŸ‘ƒ Instead of asking questions about what you might see as you walk to your local park, engage your other senses and comment on the sounds and smells you may come across.
For example:
✨ β€œOoh, I smell someone cooking sausages!”
✈️ β€œYes, I saw and heard the plane too!”

πŸ”‘ Use verbs (words that describe actions) over nouns (words to identify people, places, or things).
While both are important parts of your child’s vocabulary, verbs form the main part of sentences and are more meaningful for long-term communication πŸ’¬

🎨 Foster your child’s imagination by playing talking games such as β€˜Silly Sentences’ and β€˜I Spy’.
For example:
πŸ•ŠοΈ β€œThe bird is flying in the sky and dancing on the sand!”
πŸ‘‹ β€œI spy with my little eye something that feels rough.”

✨ Why does Pretend Play matter?

Pretend play is far more than β€œjust play.” Research shows that strong pretend play skills support:
🧠 Narrative development - sequencing, story structure, problem-solving
πŸ“š Academic learning - reading comprehension, early writing, flexible thinking
πŸ—£οΈ Language skills - vocabulary, sentence formulation, social communication

When children imagine, plan, and act out little stories, they’re practising the same skills needed for success in school-age learning.

πŸ’‘ 3 Simple Ways to Model Pretend Play at Home πŸ’‘
Here are some easy ways families can build pretend play during everyday moments:
β˜•οΈπŸ΅ Tea Party Time! Pretend to pour drinks, stir tea, taste food, and offer it to your child. Add fun storylines like, β€œOh no, the tea is too hot! Let’s blow on it together.”
🧸🐨 Soft Toy Adventures! Give a favourite teddy a simple β€œproblem” - teddy lost a hat, teddy needs a bath, teddy wants to visit the park. Act it out step by step.
πŸ³πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Mini Chef Cooking! Use toy food or safe kitchen items to pretend to chop, cook, taste, and serve. Narrate the actions: β€œWe need one more carrot for our soup.”

If you’re noticing that your child finds pretend play or storytelling tricky, early support and simple strategies can go a long way πŸ’›

πŸŽ„πŸŽ As you exchange gifts and enjoy the festive season, try making small but meaningful changes in how you interact with your child! Instead of asking questions that expect specific answers, try turning those into comments to encourage natural conversation and language development.

For example:
❌ β€œWhat’s that?” β†’ βœ… β€œYou have a red apple in your hand!” 🍎
❌ β€œIs it … or …?” β†’ βœ… β€œIt’s a little green caterpillar.” πŸ›
❌ β€œWho’s this?” β†’ βœ… β€œOh, I wonder if this is the same girl as before…” πŸ‘§
❌ β€œHow many…?” β†’ βœ… β€œLet’s count the circles together!” βšͺ️
❌ β€œWhat do you see?” β†’ βœ… β€œLook! There’s a monkey swinging from its tail.” πŸ’

Simple swaps like these create opportunities for your child to engage, explore, and build their language skills in a fun, natural way. Enjoy the moments this season! πŸŽ‰
