SPEECH THERAPY
“Words have power. With each syllable spoken, we unlock potential, mend barriers, and illuminate pathways to connection. Speech therapy is not just about sounds; it’s about empowering voices, building bridges, and shaping worlds.”
Speech therapy areas:
- Muscles, sensation, oral concerns and birth defects: coordination of speech muscles to produce sounds and
words.- Motor Programming: organisation of a word using sounds.
- Articulation/Phonology: correct pronunciation of words.
- Voice: inappropriate use of voice which becomes distracting to the listener.
- Fluency: when the flow of speech is interrupted in a child.
- Receptive Language: understanding of language.
- Expressive Language: improving language expression.
- Pragmatics: when a child has difficulty socially communicating.
- Reading: when a child has difficulty combining aspects of reading.




AUDIOLOGY
“Amidst the silence, we find resonance. In the gentle whispers of the wind and the soft symphony of rustling leaves, there exists a world waiting to be heard. Audiology isn’t just about restoring sound; it’s about embracing the beauty of every vibration, tuning into the melodies of life, and helping others rediscover the harmony within themselves.”

We have seen our daughter improve hugely and we are now aware of how to correct her speech
Our daughter has been in therapy for nearly two years and the progress we have seen has been phenomenal. From a vocabulary of about 50 words when we started and constantly battling to understand what our daughter was saying, to a little girl who now cannot stop talking! We still battle with certain words and phrases, however we are winning the battle and her speech goes from strength to strength after every session and best of all she looks forward to all her sessions.
Our overall experience has been good and beneficial to our son. The overall environment and the institution is professional and reflective of the nature of the business
During the time our son has been attending sessions with Rafeeyah, we have noted a massive improvement in both his language skills but also his confidence too. His ability to communicate is astonishing and we can attribute this growth to the sessions attended. If anyone is looking for a professional well run practice with a dedicated owner, Rafeeyah Hassim Speech Therapy is definitely the only place to consider.
As a regular client visiting and making use of Rafeeyah’s Speech Therapy, I can gladly and with a pure heart say that this is one of the best decisions I have made towards my personal being in speech assistance.
Rafeeyah has taught me how to handle various situations differently which involves many obstacles when it comes to speech fluency. She taught me the different strategies to use in certain situations as to Take Control in handling my speech.
Not only does Rafeeyah give me speech therapy at its best, she also assist me in spiritual well-being and emotional help. We could discuss all types of religions and realize that we must actually focus on speech therapy.
Rafeeyah is a very open hearted person and it’s always a pleasant time attending her sessions if I am available.
Rafeeyah does not only teach me speech fluency strategies, but also she helps me to gain my confidence in every situation and also to take my ground and handle every situation in the best and most important of all, in a positive and realistic way with having faith as well for the best possible outcome.
She is always so motivational and aligned in human being herself that I as a person can only feel lightened up with joy and positivity and have faith in myself in doing my best.
I personally feel that the Therapy I get from Rafeeyah doesn’t only help me with my speech, but also helps me to realize the importance of succeeding and also the self-worth one must have for themselves.
God has blessed her with an amazing talent in assisting patients like me.
I want to thank Rafeeyah for all her continuous assistance and excellent therapy support.
I have learned how to communicate better and how to become aware of my skills. I am glad for this opportunity to improve my confidence and control my speech rate. I still need to learn how to control my nerves in different settings.
Thank you so much for helping with my son’s development, he has certainly improved!
