Speech and Language Therapy - Inclinic and Online Therapy Available
Speech and Language Therapy at Evolve
At Evolve Therapy, our Speech and Language Therapists help children and young people find their voice, whether that’s through words, gestures, devices, or play. We support communication in all its forms, from speech sounds and understanding language to feeding and social interaction.
We’re based in Cork and work with families across Munster and throughout Ireland. Some children come to us for help with sounds like “r” or “s,” others because they’re finding it hard to put words together, and some to build confidence using their own way of communicating. We also work with children who use AAC, are developing language through scripting or echolalia, or who simply need a space where communication feels easier.
Our team is CORU-registered and experienced in supporting both neurodivergent and neurotypical children. We offer sessions in our clinic, online, at home, or in school settings, depending on what suits your family best.
Who We Help
We work with children from babies right up to teenagers, supporting speech sound and pronunciation difficulties, childhood apraxia of speech, language delay or developmental language disorder, listening and understanding challenges, early communication and play development, stammering and fluency differences, social communication and interaction, literacy and phonological awareness, school readiness, feeding, oral-motor, and swallowing difficulties.
Every child’s communication journey is different, and we meet them exactly where they are.
How Therapy Works
We start with an assessment to get to know your child, their strengths, what’s tricky for them, and what motivates them. From there, we create an individual plan that feels achievable and enjoyable.
Therapy might look like play on the floor, games at the table, chatting while building with blocks, or practising sounds in everyday routines. Parents and caregivers are always part of the process because what happens between sessions matters just as much as what happens during them.
We also link with teachers, occupational therapists, and other professionals when needed to make sure therapy goals carry over to school and daily life.
Our Approach
Our work is guided by neuroaffirmative principles that value and celebrate every child’s way of communicating. We focus on connection before correction, always prioritising the child’s comfort and confidence.
Our therapists use evidence-based, child-led approaches such as play-based learning, DIR/Floortime, Gestalt Language Processing, and AAC support. For children working on speech motor skills or apraxia, our team is trained in motor-based speech approaches.
When it comes to feeding, we use gentle, sensory-based methods that make mealtimes safe and enjoyable rather than stressful.
Family Involvement
Parents know their children best. We include families in every part of the process, offering guidance, demonstrations, and practical ideas to make communication part of everyday life during play, meals, or bedtime routines. This partnership makes progress faster, more natural, and long-lasting.
