About VoicED Speech Language Therapy

VoicED

Speech Language Therapy

VoicED is a family-focused Speech Language Therapy service provider for Northwest Auckland communities, dedicated to supporting communication in the early years.

VoicED recognises the importance of specialist collaboration with the community surrounding your child (parents, siblings, extended whānau, kaiako & more!)

The VoicED philosophy encourages learning and growth through play and shared experiences.

VoicED is inspired to ensure our young people strive to grow their communication skills in their own unique way. Therefore the lens of the modern approach to health and wellbeing is used; The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework- with a focus on the "F-Words": Fitness, Functioning, Friends, Family, Fun & Future.
