We work as part of a team with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, and dietitians, working together to help people keep living as independently as possible.
You can benefit from seeing a speech pathologist if you experience difficulties with any of the following.
Communication
- understanding spoken or written communication
- producing speech sounds
- word-finding
- voice changes
Cognition and thinking skills
- remembering information
- planning tasks
- making decisions
Swallowing
- chewing difficulties
- excess coughing, choking or throat clearing on foods or drinks
- wet or “gurgly” sounding voice after eating or drinking
- shortness of breath during or after eating or drinking
- food or tablets feeling stuck
- dribbling or excess saliva
- dry mouth or thick saliva
Eating and drinking are very important and social parts of life. Swallowing difficulties can be serious if not treated.
