Core offering

Connect and Communicate LLP is a Singapore-based speech therapy center that provides assessment, individual and group therapy, feeding therapy, and teletherapy for clients from infancy through adulthood, with specialization in social communication intervention. The practice also delivers professional training workshops and holiday programs for therapists, educators, parents, and schools, applying DIR Floortime, Social Thinking, and Hanen methodologies.

Product overview

Connect and Communicate LLP is a speech therapy center offering a comprehensive suite of services organized by client age groups: Early Learners (0-7 years), Primary Schoolers (7-12 years), and Adolescents & Adults (13+ years). The core offerings include individual assessment and therapy, group intervention programs, feeding therapy, and teletherapy. The center applies three primary therapeutic approaches—DIR Floortime, Social Thinking, and Hanen Programs—alongside supplementary services such as 10-week intensive group programs, holiday programs for children and teens, and professional workshops for therapists, educators, and parents. The practice emphasizes social communication as its specialization, supporting individuals to relate, think, and problem-solve rather than focusing solely on isolated social skills.

Broad incumbents

• SPD (Society for the Physically Disabled): Large Singapore charity providing therapy, rehabilitation, and social services for persons with disabilities including children. Much broader scope than Connect and Communicate but a significant provider in the same pediatric therapy market.
• AWWA: Singapore community-care organization delivering disability and eldercare services, including early intervention and therapy. Comparable in mission and target population though broader in scope and partially subsidized.

Direct peers

• Rainbow Centre Singapore: Singapore social service agency running early intervention and special education programs including speech-language therapy. Highly comparable mission, target population (children with developmental needs), and therapy-led delivery model.
• Dynamics Therapy Centre for Kids: Singapore-based multidisciplinary pediatric therapy center offering speech therapy, occupational therapy, and feeding therapy to children. Direct local peer serving an overlapping client base of families in Singapore.
• Thye Hua Kwan Community Services: Singapore social service agency that runs therapy, early intervention, and family support programs for children with developmental needs. Direct peer in pediatric allied-health service delivery.
• Kaleidoscope Therapy Centre: Singapore pediatric speech and occupational therapy practice with multiple locations and a multi-disciplinary team. Operates in the same customer segment (young children with developmental and communication needs) with similar service lines.
• MindChamps Allied Care: Singapore pediatric allied health provider (part of the MindChamps group) offering speech therapy, occupational therapy, and educational psychology. Operates in the same premium private market segment with similar service-line breadth.

Others

• The Hanen Centre: Canadian non-profit and the originator of the Hanen methodology that Connect and Communicate practices. Strategic content/training alliance rather than a competitor, but materially shapes the firm's service model and referral ecosystem.

Emerging players

• Expressable: US-based online speech therapy platform delivering teletherapy to families across geographies. Comparable in teletherapy modality and customer base (parents seeking flexible pediatric speech services), though operating in a different geography.
• BetterSpeech: Telehealth speech therapy provider serving children and adults online. Comparable in teletherapy delivery model and cross-border reach, although US-centric with different scale dynamics.
