Autism & Neurodivergent Communication
Support that celebrates differences, not "fixes" them.
Autism-Affirming Therapy
Neurodiversity Support
Social Communication
AAC Implementation
Echolalia & Scripting
Identity-Positive Care
Regulation-Focused
The Problem: Many autistic and neurodivergent children are pushed into therapies that force eye contact, suppress stimming, and demand conformity approaches that harm self-esteem and ignore how they naturally communicate. Our Solution: At Sunshine Speech Therapy, we honor your child's neurology. Whether they communicate through echolalia, scripting, AAC devices, or their own unique style, we build functional communication skills while celebrating who they are. Our neuro-affirming, regulation-first approach prioritizes connection over conformity helping children thrive authentically in East London and beyond.
Gestalt Language Processing Support
Natural language development for children who think in chunks.
Gestalt Language Processing
Natural Language Acquisition
Echolalia Support
Script-Based Communication
Stage-Based Progression
Meaningful Speech Training
London GLP Specialist
The Problem: Children who learn language in "chunks", repeating scripts, movie lines, or phrases are often misunderstood. Traditional therapy tries to stop this behavior instead of recognizing it as a valid stage of language development. Our Solution: Rajni is specially trained in Gestalt Language Processing (Meaningful Speech framework), supporting children as they naturally progress through the stages of language development. We help families understand that scripts and echolalia aren't problems they're bridges to flexible, self-generated language. If your child is a gestalt language processor in East London, we know exactly how to support them.
Speech Sound & Early Language
Building clear communication from first words to fluent speech.
Speech Sound Delays
Phonology Therapy
South Tyneside Approach
Early Language Development
Late Talkers Support
Articulation Therapy
Preschool Communication
The Problem: Parents worry when their child isn't talking yet, struggles to pronounce sounds clearly, or falls behind peers in language milestones. Long NHS waiting lists mean critical early years pass without support. Our Solution: We specialize in preschool communication and speech sound development using evidence-based approaches like the South Tyneside Phonology program. From late talkers to children with unclear speech, we create play-based, engaging therapy that helps children find their voice quickly. No more waiting lists start building your child's communication confidence in our Wanstead studio today.
Feeding & Sensory Eating Support
Turning mealtime stress into peaceful family moments.
SOS Feeding Approach
Sensory-Based Eating
Picky Eating Support
Food Aversions
Mealtime Anxiety
Oral Motor Skills
Texture Sensitivities
The Problem: Mealtimes become battlegrounds when children have extreme food selectivity, sensory aversions, or feeding difficulties. Families feel isolated, stressed, and unsure how to help their child expand their diet safely. Our Solution: Rajni is trained in the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Feeding Approach, a research-backed program that helps children overcome feeding challenges through play and gradual exposure no force, no pressure. We address sensory sensitivities, oral motor skills, and the emotional side of eating. If your child in East London struggles with food, we can help transform mealtimes from stressful to successful.

FAQs
Do you only support speaking children?
No. I support all communication, including AAC, sign, gesture, and multi-modal communication, which research shows improves language outcomes rather than limiting speech development (Millar et al., 2006).
Are your methods evidence-based?
What if my child doesn’t engage with structured activities?
Can I be involved in therapy sessions?
Will therapy force my child to act more ‘typical’?
What’s the payment structure like?
Is early intervention necessary?
Do you only support speaking children?
No. I support all communication, including AAC, sign, gesture, and multi-modal communication, which research shows improves language outcomes rather than limiting speech development (Millar et al., 2006).
