Speech therapy
One in seven Australians has some form of communication difficulty. Speech pathologists are able to help with a range of these difficulties, including speech and hearing problems, using and understanding of language, problems with voice, fluency, reading and writing as well as eating, drinking and swallowing.
Speech pathology is particularly useful for people who have had a stroke, or an accident that has affected their brain, as well as for people who stutter or have an intellectual disability.
Treatment can be in individual sessions as well as in small groups, workshops or through home-based programs.
