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.

✨ 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‰

πŸ‘€πŸŒ 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.

πŸ‘οΈ 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. πŸ’­πŸŽ¨

You could roll two cubes and make simple sentences with the items (e.g., the witch walked in the forest). πŸŒ²πŸ§™β€β™€οΈ

You could also create longer sentences, and even stories, with multiple cubes. πŸ“– 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. πŸ’¬πŸŒˆ
