Speech Therapy in Benoni
Individualised, evidence-based speech therapy for children from Carey-Anne Morris, a qualified Speech Therapist and Audiologist with more than 20 years in private practice.
Helping children communicate with greater confidence
Speech and language difficulties can affect how a child expresses ideas, understands spoken language and participates at home or school. Carey provides assessment and therapy from her practice at 140 Woburn Avenue, Western Extension, Benoni.
Each child’s communication profile is different. The first step is to understand current strengths and needs, explain the findings clearly and agree on practical therapy goals with the family.

Speech therapy questions
When should I consider a speech therapy assessment?
An assessment may be helpful when a child is difficult to understand, uses fewer words or shorter sentences than expected, struggles to understand instructions, or finds communication frustrating. An assessment clarifies the child’s individual profile rather than relying on one sign alone.
Can speech therapy help with delayed language or childhood apraxia?
Carey provides assessment and individualised therapy for delayed language, language disorders and childhood apraxia of speech. Recommendations depend on the assessment findings and the child’s needs.
