Speech Pathology
At Retreat Allied Health, Speech Pathology services are designed to help individuals with communication and swallowing difficulties. Our Speech Pathologists are trained professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of speech, language, and communication disorders, as well as swallowing disorders.
Speech Pathology services may be beneficial for individuals who have difficulty with speech production, such as stuttering or articulation disorders. These services may also be useful for individuals who have difficulty understanding language or expressing themselves effectively. Additionally, Speech Pathology services can help individuals with voice disorders, such as hoarseness or vocal nodules, as well as those with cognitive-communication disorders resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological conditions.
Our comprehensive Speech Pathology services encompass a range of treatments to support individuals with speech, language, communication, and swallowing difficulties.

Here's an overview of our services:
Communication Therapy: Our Speech Pathologists provide tailored communication therapy to help individuals with speech and language difficulties improve their communication skills. They work closely with patients to develop skills and strategies that help them achieve greater independence and improve their quality of life.
Swallowing Assessment and Treatment: Our Speech Pathologists conduct a comprehensive swallowing assessment to evaluate patients’ swallowing function. They use a range of assessments, such as Video fluoroscopy, to identify areas of difficulty and develop a personalised treatment plan. Our Speech Pathologists may also recommend liquid thickeners and food modifications to improve swallowing function.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Therapy: Our Speech Pathologists offer AAC therapy to help individuals with communication difficulties use communication tools to express themselves. They work closely with patients to identify the most appropriate communication tool, such as a communication board, speech generating device, or mobile app, that helps them communicate effectively.
Our team of highly trained Speech Pathologists utilizes evidence-based practices to guide their work, ensuring that patients receive the most effective and individualised treatments for their specific condition.
