Looking for
Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy & ABA Therapy?
Glad you could drop in!
Welcome to The Children’s Place! We hope you have as much fun as we do learning to communicate and play. We offer speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and ABA therapy / Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) to pre-school, primary and secondary school-aged children.
We support families worldwide in our playhouses (centres) in schools and in homes. Whether it is traveling to your home country or supporting you online through virtual sessions or distance programmes, we are happy to be a part of your little one’s learning journey!
At The Children’s Place, we pride ourselves on the absolute best therapy and service. We bring a unique outlook and perspective to the way your child will receive, learn and reach their goals in therapy. We foster a fun, exciting and supportive environment where your little one is excited to attend and engage. Our approach enables us to help your child develop in the crucial developmental years of their life.
All children are unique, and we believe that all therapy should be unique as well. The Children’s Place provides tailored therapy to best suit your little one in excelling and developing their skills. Our personalised therapy extends far beyond the time your child attends their session at our centre. The Children’s Place provides an all-inclusive experience for the whole family, from helping plan and carry out homework sessions to sharing strategies and tips for assisting your child in everyday life.
We work closely with your family to empower you in feeling confident in helping your little one’s development. This involvement results in a decrease in worry and anxiety that many parents experience. Please explore our website to gain a better understanding of The Children’s Place and how we may be able to support you and your cheeky monkey!
We are excited to hear from you!
Limited Caseloads
We have limited caseloads allowing us the time to attend courses, seminars and conduct research in order to provide the best modern evidence-based therapy and ensure we are always developing our clinical skills.
Meaningful Relationships
We have a limited number of children in our caseloads so we have time to build meaningful relationships with the families, teachers and other professionals working with the children. It is so important for everyone to be working together to ensure the children are reaching their maximum potential.
Unique, Tailored Therapy
We spend more time tailoring therapy to the children’s needs, creating materials and planning a fun-filled, learning enriched session. Our approach enables us to help your child develop in the crucial development years of their life.
Experienced
When we provide therapy your child will receive the experience, research and expertise of not only the therapist your child sees but the decades of international experience our team has; from our open plan office to our regular team and individual meetings; collaboration is in our design.

Online Sessions
Teletherapy has been successfully used since the late 1990’s but became more popular throughout the early 2000’s. Teletherapy is a tool that The Children’s Place has been utilising since our early years. Many of our families live in other countries, find it difficult to travel into the clinic or travel frequently themselves and want to continue progress on their little one’s speech, language, behavior, and occupational therapy targets. Through Teletherapy, we have been able to support little ones no matter where they are in the world.
Distance Support
At The Children’s Place, we not only provide individual online sessions but home therapy programme packs, parent seminars and coaching sessions, personalised support via an online app every day of the week for little ones, and an avenue to access support from our whole team to continue supporting children’s development holistically. All online!
Whether you have little ones with a diagnosis, are struggling with your little one’s behaviour or feeding or would like to access professionals in children’s development to boost your little one’s skills—whether you are in London, Singapore, Jakarta or the moon—we can support your little one’s developmental journey and have been supporting families from afar for 8 years.
If you would like to learn more about our online sessions or our distance support options, please contact welcome@thechildrensplaceslt.

What Our Families Have To Say
The feedback and homework we receive every session has been amazing and helped us continually engage [Amy] beyond the therapy session.
The team’s engagement with [Johnny] and their constant updates, ideas and encouragement. The Children’s Place has been so thorough,
very professional and friendly.
Having The Children’s Place involved in supporting [Allan] has been an excellent experience. Our therapist is very professional, enthusiastic and dedicated to him. She has given us advice for strategies at home and in the nursery. She is extremely hard working and dedicated. For me, the most important thing is that she truly cares and wants [Allan] to succeed. He adores her and looks forward to their sessions.
The quality of the therapy centre; cupboards of toys and high-end OT equipment are great!
Seeing the results in my child. Feeling confident we’re able to help him. All the positivity and confidence the staff have is very encouraging. It’s made all the difference
