Speech Pathology
Our team of Speech Pathologist are specialised in providing assessments, diagnosis, interventions, and management for people with communication disorders and/or swallowing difficulties.
Communication disorders, including difficulty with speech, listening, understanding language, reading, writing and social skills, may be due to a range of conditions including:
- Developmental delays
- Stroke or other brain injuries
- Learning and intellectual disability
- Dementia
- Hearing Loss
- Other problems that can affect speech and language.
Our speech pathologist can provide support by:
- Providing different strategies for communication, or using alternative communication devices
- Teaching a person how to swallow safely
- Helping young children or adults with speech difficulties or experiencing difficulties understanding others
- Providing adaptive and safe strategies for clients and/or family and carers with feeding and swallowing
- Helping clients with voice disorders (e.g. pitch, voice quality) and speech fluency
Our Speech Pathologist endeavour to help our clients and their family/carers to lead self-determined lives, improve independence and achieve the best quality of life they can.
