Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm Polly: a Speech Language Therapist with 18 years experience working 1:1 with children with communication challenges, their families and Teachers.

I specialise in speech sound challenges and have a passion for Speech Language Therapy being accessible for everyone who needs it. That's why I started Speech Teacher.

Download the attached handout to see what I have to offer, to help you help your child with their speech sound challenges.

Use this screener to get a quick idea of your child's speech sound errors.

This speech sound screener tests all the first consonants in words in English.

This screener is a good one to use if you are short on time, you are working with a very young child, or you just want to get an idea if the child needs further testing.

You will need to download and print out both files: one to show the pictures and the other to score.

If you are working with young children or children with a very short attention span, or very easily overwhelmed children, you can cut the pictures out and turn each one over (or ask the child to turn it over) as you test it.

You can use the other screeners to get a more in depth idea of your child's speech sound errors.

Use this speech sound screener for children aged under four years.

Use this speech sound screener for children aged four years and over.
