The Little Bookworm (Blackburn North)

We aim to enhance children's speech and language, pre-literacy and literacy skills in readiness for adult life. We do this in a number of ways:

Speech Pathology for children
Speech, Language and Literacy Training sessions
Children's Online Book Store

The philosophy of The Little Bookworm is to provide a range of services to target a range of needs. These include:

Intervention for children who have a speech, language or literacy delay or disorder,

Early detection: programs to identify children at risk of developing speech, language or literacy disorders as we know that treatment is more effective when a child is in his/her pre-school years, and

Primary Prevention: providing the community with strategies that parents and carers can use to strengthen oral language skills in very young children, in particular children who have an early delay or are at risk of developing language disorders. Research shows us children who have strong spoken language skills before they enter school have a greater chance of succeeding academically and developing strong literacy skills.

Location: Services are available at The Little Bookworm Speech Pathology clinic which is at 55a Katrina St, Blackburn Nth. Upon request we are also able to do home visits, childcare or kinder visits, and school visits.
