What is Speech Pathology?

In plain English

Therapy that supports communication and swallowing, from speech and language to using communication devices.

Speech pathologists help people who have difficulty speaking, understanding language, reading, or safely eating and drinking. They may introduce communication aids, from picture boards to speech generating devices, and train the people around you to support communication. It is a common and highly sought after NDIS therapy, and capacity is often tight, so booking early matters.
