Delivering quality communication therapy for adults on the Gold Coast
SPEECH PATHOLOGY
"Helping you speak with strength, clarity, and intent, every single day."
Our speech pathologists provide support for people with communication and swallowing problems. We offer assessment, treatment, and ongoing management for a range of difficulties, including:
​
Speech difficulties such as dyspraxia and dysarthria.
​
Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), which can make eating and drinking safely more challenging.
​
Language or communication difficulties (aphasia), which can affect understanding, speaking, reading, or writing.
Voice difficulties (dysphonia), which can change the quality, pitch, or loudness of your voice.
​
Our team has extensive experience working with adults, and we are committed to providing personalised care to help you or your loved one communicate and swallow as safely and effectively as possible.
