Ângela Costa

How I work

I'm Ângela Costa, Speech Therapist at Clínica da Vila. I'm passionate about children and about the study of child development, and I have extensive experience working as part of a team, in clinical and school settings, with this population.

I work in areas such as communication, language and speech, as well as orofacial motor function. Every child is assessed individually, and the therapy plan is built in partnership with the family, because it's at home, at school and at play that communication takes on meaning.

"Communicating is much more than speaking. It's looking, it's gesture, it's symbol. My role is to find the right way for each child to be heard."

I specialise in Orofacial Myology and in Augmentative and Alternative Communication, areas that let me support both specific speech difficulties and situations where other communication routes are needed.

• Speech Therapy

  Assessment and intervention in communication, language, speech and voice, focused on child development.

• Orofacial Myology

  Specialisation in assessing and rehabilitating orofacial functions — breathing, chewing, swallowing and articulation.

• Augmentative and Alternative Communication

  Specialisation in communication systems and strategies for children who don't communicate through spoken speech alone.
