OUR PHILOSOPHY

Communication for Real Life

At Kindred Health Services, we believe communication is the foundation for connection, learning, and independence.

​​

​

Our mission is to achieve real, lasting results that extend far beyond the therapy room.

​

​

We reject outdated, one-size-fits-all models, seeing difference as a unique profile, not a disorder.

​

​

OUR COMMITMENT

We are dedicated to continuous professional development to ensure you receive the most current, effective, and ethical care. Our team specialises in:

Trauma-Informed Practice

We prioritise emotional safety. We recognise the impact of past experiences on communication and learning.

Social

Communication

We focus on authentic interaction, relationship building, and communication confidence.

Sensory Regulation

We offer comprehensive assessment and implementation of communication systems for non-speaking or minimally verbal clients.

Early Intervention

We provide specialised support for infants and toddlers.

Literacy and Dyslexia Support
