Helping kids communicate

to reach their full potential

Young children learn best when they play. That’s why Orchard Therapy supports a fun play-based approach to support communication development.

WELCOME TO

ORCHARD THERAPY

Shepparton, Victoria

Orchard Therapy provides engaging evidence-based speech and language assessment and therapy for pre-school and primary school aged children. Our play-based approach to therapy makes the learning process motivating and fun because when kids feel safe and happy, they can learn and grow.

Speech Therapy

Is your child’s speech difficult to understand?

We offer evidence-based speech therapy to support your child’s speech development.

Language Therapy

Is your child not speaking, using words that don’t quite fit, or having difficulty following instructions?

We offer evidence-based language therapy to support your child to make sense of what they hear and communicate their messages to others.

ASSESSMENTS

We offer a range of assessments to determine if your child may benefit from support to develop their speech and language skills.

Children learn as they play.
Most importantly,
in play children learn how to learn.

~ O. Fred Donaldson
