Speech & Language Therapy

Speech & Language Therapy is much more than helping people with their speech!

We can provide help in areas of:

Communication

  • Expressive language skills – Being able to express yourself in a way that others can easily understand
  • 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
