Dear Parent/Teacher,
Please pardon us if this letter doesn't sound all slick and hyped-up, we're not professional marketers.
We are simply a speech and language therapy centre focused on helping children and adults with speech, language, and/or communication difficulties to perform better in school, at home, the workplace and in life.
It troubles us when we see children and adults missing out on effective speech and language therapy that can so positively impact their lives or change their lives for the better.
We are committed to providing evidence-based, tested and proven speech and language therapy services at great value to you.
Here are some examples of the communication challenges that we are able to offer help for:
- He is reading but not sure what words mean - and you want to improve his reading comprehension skills.
- Her speech is not clear (articulation issue) and leaves the listener guessing.
- He is not speaking in sentences, says short incomplete sentences, or gets his words jumbled up.
- She is unable to follow instructions in school and teachers think she is under-performing.
- He is unable to tell you what happens in school, what he needs or how he feels.
- She has difficulty talking and interacting with others and gets left out.
- He struggles to get his words out fluently and you are concerned he is stuttering.
- She has a short attention span or gets distracted easily - and you want to help her improves her task completion ability and attention span.

Why does a child have speech and language difficulty?
Your child's speech and language difficulties may be due to any of the following: |
When should you refer a child for speech and language therapy?
Based on typical developmental milestones, you should refer your child to see us if he/she:
- is not babbling or paying attention to voices by about 12 months.
- has not started talking by about 1˝ years.
- does not understand simple verbal instructions or questions by about 2 years.
- is not using simple sentences by about 3 years.
- has unclear speech and is difficult to understand by about 3˝ years.
- has other communication difficulties, e.g. stammering or voice problems.
If a child has speech or language difficulties, he may not 'grow out of it'. Without speech language therapy, his speech could fall further behind his peers as he grows older.
|
How have our clients benefited from our services?
- Children who used to be uncommunicative now have the language and/or social skills to speak up and fit in better in school.
- Children who once had difficulty making themselves understood are now able to articulate sounds more clearly (e.g. 'l', 's', 'r' etc) and communicate better.
- Children who found it difficult to pick up reading in conventional classes now utilize other learning strategies to become better readers.
- Children who otherwise may not be ready for school enrolment are now able to join their peers in school.
- Stutterers who previously were teased by others or avoided talking now speak more fluently and confidently.

Here's what our satisfied parents say:
"SQ's reading skills improved by leaps and bounds (her reading scale improved by 9 months) after just 3 months of therapy with Ms Magan… Initially she was able to learn 2 new words a day after 1 hour... Now, she's able to learn her spelling list within 1-2 hours. She has scored full marks in spelling, English tests..."
- Mrs. Soh, mother of Soh JH (primary 3) and Soh SQ (primary 1), Singapore
"When Shawn started his speech language therapy with Ms Magan, he had problems expressing his thoughts... He was diagnosed with Specific Language Impairment (SLI).
Magan is encouraging, positive and sincere. After a year with her, Shawn is such a different boy now. He is chatty and always looking forward to communicate with peers (making friends) and isn't afraid to try. No words can express our sincere gratitude. All our lives have been changed!
- Annie, mother of Shawn (6 years old), Singapore
"Previously she was often bullied & ostracized by her friends as she could not verbalize her needs... she is now able to communicate successfully with her peers & teachers.
Grace has not only enjoyed her lessons, she has shown tremendous improvement & progress in her speech & this is attributed to the dedication, patience & commitment of teacher Magan, her therapist."
- HL, mother of Grace (6 years old), Singapore
"I am sure no parents would like the idea of your own child being labelled autistic... Gabriel started to use his vocabulary from the very first appointment with Magan. She teaches us ways to help him to start talking and maintaining eye contact...
I am so glad that his autistic review has given us good feedback that 'Gabriel may not be in the spectrum anymore'."
- Jasmine, mother of Gabriel (3 years old), Singapore
"Magan's way of teaching stammerers to overcome their difficulties is very effective... Now I'm able to speak more clearly and fluently. This in fact has changed my life and helped to boost my morale..."
- Adrian, Canada
