Speech Therapy Services

The Speech therapist Team of Heep Hong Society provides assessment, therapy and training to help children with speech, language and other communication difficulties. To accommodate individual interest and differences, different treatment strategies are employed to enhance children’s social and communication skills. Speech therapists also share their knowledge and experience with parents and professional peers through talks, workshops and publications.

● Automatic voice output function or “Speak” button: select a single picture or multiple pictures from different categories to form meaningful sentences
