Where Speech Therapy Can Help

Most people take the ability to speak clearly and confidently for granted. However, this is not the case for many people within our community. I focus on some traditional areas of Speech Pathology and specialise in some non-traditional areas such as presentation skills:

  • Articulation / Speech Therapy – for teenagers and adults
  • Presentation / Communication training – for public speaking, podcast presenting and public relations in the corporate sector – this may include some or all of the areas listed above

Speech Pathologists may also work in the following areas:

  • Language Difficulties – helping those with delayed or disordered expressive or receptive language difficulties eg. grammar, syntax, vocabulary
  • Swallowing – helping those who have a swallowing problem due to a neurological condition such as a stroke or motor neurone disease
  • Help with Literacy – a Speech Pathologist may be able to help with reading and writing skills
  • Acquired Disorders – such as stroke, surgery, disease, head injury or other unexpected medical condition that may affect your ability to speak, or to comprehend language
