Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy
Our Speech pathologists support clients across the life span with communication and swallowing difficulties. This may include difficulties with speaking, listening, understanding language, reading, writing, social skills, stuttering and using their voice.
Children and adults with difficulties in these areas may experience reduced confidence or behavioural problems. Our Speech pathologists work with clients who have difficulty communicating for a number of reasons such as developmental delays, learning disability, intellectual disability, brain injury and hearing loss, as well as other problems that can affect speech and language. We also see clients of all ages who experience difficulties swallowing food and drink safely.
