Regulation

Registered clinical professionals.

Spark Speech's therapists are CORU registered for practice in Ireland. Registration details and professional information will be expanded as each clinician's full profile is finalised.

Approach

Therapy built around the child.

We look beyond a single speech sound or word count. Assessment and therapy consider communication, participation, strengths, needs and the goals that matter to each child and family.

Professional development

A learning clinical team.

Spark Speech is committed to continuing professional development and to keeping clinical practice informed by relevant evidence, professional standards and the needs of the children we support.

What happens next

The clinician is only part of the journey.

Good therapy starts with understanding your concerns, your child's communication profile and what you want to change. From there, assessment, goal setting, therapy and review are connected.
