Speech & Language Therapy is much more than helping people with their speech!
We can provide help in areas of:
Communication

- Receptive language skills – Understanding what others are saying
- Social communication skills – Using language to communicate in different ways (e.g. request, comment, ask questions), adjusting language according to people or place and following the rules for conversation
- Cognitive-Communication skills – These skills include attention, memory, abstract reasoning, awareness and executive functions
- Alternative & Augmentative Communication (AAC) – Exploring different ways to understand and express yourself apart from or alongside speech
- Speech fluency / Stuttering
- Voice issues (e.g. hoarse voice)
Mealtimes
- Picky or restricted eating patterns
- Swallowing problems
