What is Speech Pathology?
Everyone deserves to feel understood. Communication allows for interaction and connection to the world around you.
Speech pathologists assess, diagnose and treat communication disorders, including difficulties with speaking, listening, understanding language, reading, writing, social skills, stuttering, using voice as well as supporting people who experience difficulties swallowing food and drink safely.
How can we support you?

“I became a speech pathologist because I wanted to be a health care professional that children were excited to come and see. They don’t just receive therapy, they get to come and play games and it’s generally seen as a positive experience for them and their families.”
