Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy Adults and Paediatric

The ability to convey information between two people and understand the information being conveyed can easily be taken for granted. How we convey information can also happen in many ways. As a team of highly trained speech therapists, we understand the importance of communication, speech, language and voice for good quality of life and our role is to make you feel more confident when communicating. We focus on verbal, non-verbal as well as alternate and augmentative communication (AAC) supports to suit your needs and requirements. We work with people across the lifespan from birth to geriatrics.

In addition to communication, we also provide speech therapy services to address impaired swallowing (dysphagia) and mealtime management needs that one may require.

Social skills, looks at both the context and how it influences communication as well as the relationship between the people in communication and how it influences communication. Our team of speech therapists work with individuals who have difficulty with social skills.
