How can our speech pathologists assist you?

Speech pathology, also known as speech therapy, helps children and adults develop communication skills and assists with swallowing difficulties. Speech therapy may help when people have difficulties with speaking, understanding language, talking with others, reading, spelling, listening, using their voice and interacting with people. The aim of speech therapy is to help support individual goals so someone can participate in their life, relationships and community in the way they want to.

Speech

Our speech pathologists provide therapy to improve articulation and pronunciation! We help when there is a difficulty producing a sound or one sound is being swapped for another. We work on the clarity of speech sounds to ensure the participant can be easily understood and address issues with pitch, volume, and quality of voice.

Language

Speech pathology works on: Expressive language: Improving the ability to express thoughts, ideas, and emotions through spoken and written language. Receptive language: Enhancing the ability to understand spoken and written language, including following instructions and processing information.

Social Communications & Interactions

Our speech pathologists specialise in helping participants learn how to initiate and maintain conversations, take turns, understand social cues and understand social norms so they can participate in activities that are meaningful to them. We love to practice these skills in places and with people who are important to them!

Non-Verbal Communication

By focusing on the use of facial expressions, physical gestures and body movements, our speech pathologists work to improve communication. This also includes the use of communication devices or systems (also called augmentative and alternative communication) with a range of options such as picture boards, communication books or speech-generating devices.

Swallowing

Dysphagia is the term that is used when someone is having difficulty with swallowing. Dysphagia can lead to coughing, choking or food and fluid going down the wrong way. Our speech pathologists use swallowing assessments to evaluate a participant’s swallowing function and identify difficulties. They then provide tailored strategies and support that might include rehabilitation exercises, food and fluid modification and a mealtime management plan.

Fluency

Using techniques to manage and reduce stuttering and promoting smoother speech, our clinicians work to improve participants overall quality of life through strategies to develop a more fluent speech pattern. Addressing the psychological aspects of fluency disorders to reduce anxiety helps to improve communication confidence.

Literacy

Our clinicians specialise in helping participants with the organisation of thoughts and ideas in reading, writing and spelling. By supporting decoding skills, word recognition, and understanding of text, our speech pathologists enhance a participant’s ability to recognise and manipulate sounds in words, a crucial skill for reading.

Challenges Without Access to Adult Neurological Speech Pathology

At Amend Rehab, we understand that adults living with neurological or complex communication conditions require highly tailored assessment and therapy. Without access to clinicians experienced in adult neuro rehabilitation, participants may face ongoing barriers that limit recovery, safety, and independence.

Delayed or Inadequate Neuro-Specific Care

Adults living with stroke, acquired brain injury (ABI), Parkinson’s disease, dysphagia, aphasia, or cognitive-communication impairment benefit from clinicians trained in neurological rehabilitation. Generalist services may not provide the depth of assessment, clinical reasoning, and structured therapy planning required for meaningful long-term outcomes.

Swallowing & Safety Risks

Dysphagia and swallowing difficulties carry significant health risks, including aspiration, malnutrition, dehydration, and hospital readmission. Early assessment and structured management planning are essential to reduce risk and improve quality of life.

Reduced Communication Confidence

Communication challenges can significantly impact participation, employment, relationships, and mental wellbeing. Without targeted intervention, individuals may withdraw from social and community environments.

Fragmented or Inconsistent Care

Consistency is critical in neurological rehabilitation. Structured, clinic-based therapy environments allow for repetition, measurable goal tracking, and coordinated multidisciplinary input where required.

Access & Continuity Considerations

For some participants, mobility, fatigue, or transport challenges may affect access to therapy. While our primary focus is delivering structured, high-quality therapy within our Camp Hill clinic, limited mobile appointments may be available where clinically appropriate to support continuity of care.

A Structured, Evidence-Based Adult Neuro Approach

Our speech pathologists provide:

  • Comprehensive neurological assessment
  • Swallowing and dysphagia evaluation
  • Aphasia and cognitive-communication rehabilitation
  • Voice therapy for neurological conditions
  • Structured, goal-based therapy programs
  • High-quality NDIS reporting

We are committed to delivering clinically rigorous, outcome-focused adult speech pathology services that support long-term functional independence.
