Speech Pathology

What is a Speech Pathologist?

A speech Pathologist, also known as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or speech therapist, specializes in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating individuals with communication and swallowing disorders. They work with people of all ages, from infants to the elderly.

Why Work With a Speech Pathologist

The primary goal of a speech therapist is to help individuals improve their communication skills and overall quality of life. They assess and treat various speech and language disorders including difficulties with articulation (pronunciation of sounds), language comprehension and expression, voice disorders, social communication skills, and cognitive communication action skills.

Speech pathologists use a variety of techniques and interventions to address these disorders. They may provide individual or group therapy sessions. They may also recommend and implement alternative communication methods, such as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices or sign language, for individuals with severe communication impairments.

Speech pathology is vital in the NDIS, therapists work in various settings, including schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, private practices, research institutions, and public agencies.
