Online Courses
I am on a mission to make speech therapy accessible to ALL!
…because every child deserves to use their words effectively to tell their own stories.
Whether you are on a waitlist, or wish to know how else to support your child, our online
courses are suitable for parents with children who are delayed in talking, displaying
Autism traits or are suspected to have a stutter.
Many times, as you wait for services, there are easy things you could get started with that
could see your child start to make progress! My courses are designed to support you so
that you don’t feel helpless to the situation.
Wish you had a manual to get your child talking...well, here is one!
The Late-Talker’s Bootcamp is literally your best companion to growing your child’s language. I share simple tips that can help you move your child’s language from where it is to the next level, while also filling any existing gaps that may be holding them back.
Do you wish to support your child in order for them to ‘manage’ their stutter/stammer?
Watch n’ Learn: Stuttering series are short videos that get you quick wins, and leave you feeling, “I know what to do here!”. I guide you on how to evaluate if what you’re observing is indeed a stutter, and share some quick tips for how to support your child to be ‘smooth’. You get to learn industry best practices, which can significantly improve your child’s outcomes.
Are you concerned that your child may be showing signs of Autism?
Watch n’ Learn: Autism Traits are short videos that help to demystify Autism. I share my most common observations of children who present with Autism or Autism traits, and highlight some specific things you can do to get your child to start developing typical social and language skills.
Our Approach
We exist to meet parents at their point of need, and to walk the journey with them, from disillusion, confusion, to feeling empowered, confident, and hopeful. We realise that speech therapy services are not always readily available, therefore, we are constantly devising ways of making our services accessible to families across the globe.
Hey, I'm Lorna Muthamia
Speech therapy for me was born out of a need to solve a problem that afflicted my family personally – and it came with a realisation of how the severe shortage in speech therapists was causing an increased burden to families in Kenya (well, and the world over).
I now have 15+ years’ experience in providing speech therapy to children with varying communication difficulties both in well-served as well as underserved regions.
And my vision – is for accessible, sustainable practices, and effective speech therapy for all children regardless of their geographic location or prevailing circumstances.

Testimonials
I trusted Lorna from the get go! Her experience in speech therapy is what any parent would look for, for the early years of learning… I got a chance to appreciate the work that goes into creating learning content for early learners. It didn’t seem easy to put together, but it was done in such a way that made the child enjoy learning.
Mama Skye
We first met Lorna when she was referred to us as a speech therapist for our son. After we saw how quickly our son’s speech improved (and how Lorna integrated academic concepts into the therapy), we realized Lorna has a gift for working with children.
Lorna is someone you follow. Lorna…has our highest possible recommendation.
Mama & Baba Gabriel, and Samuel
Our very first meeting with Lorna gave me a great deal of confidence that i was finally at the right place. By the end of that first meeting i got to know for the first time the specific challenge areas that we needed to concentrate on so as to help my daughter along with her speech and i was also equipped with practical skills to further aid her progress. Six months down the line, my daughter can express herself much more clearly and this has given her confidence to make friends at school!
Njambi
I know Lorna since that time for my son and do not hesitate to discuss with her any issue pertaining to her field. She gives all her time to listen and advices appropriately.
I feel proud to recommend her to any of my colleague, friend or my patients, as I have experienced her services myself. Speech therapy services are quite few in the country and not really affordable for some. Lorna is working hard to provide an affordable, uninterrupted service that the country is really in need of. We really need to support her in this great initiative.
