Speech & Language Pathology
Our Speech and Language Pathologists are dedicated to helping individuals achieve their communication goals.
Whether it’s through targeted therapy to develop and strengthen specific speech and language skills, or by providing an alternative communication system tailored to the individual’s needs, our approach is always personalized.
We also offer comprehensive training for the individual, their family, and support team to ensure effective and confident use of these communication tools, fostering greater independence and interaction in daily life.
What is Speech and Language Pathology?
Speech and Language Pathologists study, diagnose and treat communication disorders, including difficulties with speaking, listening, understanding language, reading, writing, social skills, stuttering and using voice. It is a vast and varied role where no two days look the same!
Our Speech and Language Pathologists work with people who experience difficulties communicating because of developmental delays and disabilities such as Down Syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder, stroke, brain injuries, learning disability, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, as well as other problems that can affect speech and language.
Our Speech and Language Pathologists assist people with working towards their communication goals. This could be in the form of therapy, working towards building skills in different areas of speech and language relevant to the person, or providing the individual and their family and support team with training and education.
People who experience difficulties swallowing food and drink safely can also be helped by a speech pathologist. Our Speech and Language Pathologists assist people to eat, drink and swallow safely through providing advice and assistance on how to systematically modify diets so the individual accepts a wider range of foods, providing strategies regarding positioning during mealtimes, recommending altering the characteristics of foods and drinks to promote increased swallow safety and by providing training and education on client-specific mealtime management safety guidelines.
