Speech Pathologist/therapist
Speech pathologists help people communicate and, where needed, eat and drink safely. They support children and adults.
How a speech pathologist can help
Depending on your needs and goals, speech pathology can include:
- speaking clearly and being understood
- understanding language and expressing ideas
- reading, writing and social communication skills
- voice care
- safe swallowing, eating and drinking
- communication aids and other ways to communicate
Support for children, adults and families
Communication support looks different at different ages. For young children, early support can make a real difference – see our early childhood supports. Families and carers are welcome to be part of sessions so you can practise together at home.
Working with your wider team
Speech pathology often sits alongside occupational therapy and psychology, coordinated under one plan. For NDIS participants it can be part of your therapeutic supports.
