Cluas has a Centre in Dublin and a new Centre in Cork

Our Dublin centre is situated in Tallaght (click here for directions).

Cluas Dublin is modern centre, it has been in based in Tallaght since 2005, and expanded in 2008. We now have 3 large therapy rooms and work with up to 30 clients a day. Our therapy rooms are fully equipped for each different age group, and allow our clients the flexibility to move around, complete activities, play games and interact with our staff. We have a dedicated teenager room and also seperate adult facilities.

We have a number of consulting rooms and a large testing room which we use for Listening tests, auditory processing tests, and various other tests which allow us to build up a person’s listening profile, in order to see where their difficulties lie.

At the Cluas Centre in Dublin we aim to meet the needs of families from Leinster; children and teens from Meath, Kidare, Westmeath and Wicklow and Wexford attend at Cluas Dublin – and also some children from Connaught and Ulster – including from some families from Northern Ireland. Our programmes help young children to develop Speech and Language, reduce the impact of Dyslexia, Aspergers Syndrome, Attention Difficulties (ADD or ADHD), Dyspraxia and Auditory Processing Difficulties for younger children and also teens.

Our Cork centre is situated in Victoria Cross (click here for directions).

Cluas Cork is modern centre, that was opened in March 2011. We now have 2 dedicated therapy rooms and work with up to 10 young clients a day. Our therapy rooms are fully equipped for different age groups, and allow our clients the flexibility to move around, complete activities, play games and interact with our staff.

We have a consulting and testing room which we use for meeting with parents, performing listening tests, auditory processing tests, and various other tests which allow us to build up a person’s listening profile, in order to see where their difficulties lie.

At the Cluas Centre in Cork we aim to meet the needs of families from Munster; children and teens from Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Tiperrary and Waterford attend at Cluas Cork – and also some families from Connaught and Leinster. Here also our programmes help young children to develop Speech and Language, reduce the impact of Dyslexia, Aspergers Syndrome, Attention Difficulties (ADD or ADHD), Dyspraxia and Auditory Processing Difficulties for both young children and teenagers.

We have the most modern equipment available for the delivery of the Cluas Programmes. The system allows us incredible flexibility in how we create highly individualised programmes tailored specifically to the needs of each individual client.

In each Dublin therapy room we have a dedicated microphone booth, this allow our clients to do active work. In Cork, we use a seperate therapy room.

We also have the facility to make excellent voice recordings with the mothers of young clients. Using a recording of the mother’s voice as part of our programmes can be very beneficial for young clients with Speech and Language Difficulties.
