SBH Disability Service's Speech Pathologists can support children, teenagers, adults and caregivers with:
- Speech: Being able to say sounds correctly has a huge impact on the ability to communicate effectively and be understood. Some people may require assistance in learning and mastering the production of sounds.
- Language: The development of language is a complex process, and involves many different aspects of language (e.g., grammar, vocabulary, social interactions, etc). Some children may require assistance in developing these skills, and looking at strategies to bypass any ‘roadblocks’ in their language system. Adults may require support to rehabilitate their language skills following an acute injury or event.
- Feeding, Swallowing Safety, and Mealtime Management: Eating and drinking are skills that we do on a daily basis. For some children and adults, these skills can be challenging. Support is available to assist in improving and managing feeding needs, as well as making mealtimes fun and enjoyable again. We also offer mealtime management reviews and plans that can be used in various settings. We also offer feeding groups and workshops to support mealtime skills.
- Cognition: Assisting to learn valuable skills to help with concentration, attention, organisation, and emotional regulation.
- Literacy: Being able to engage with the written word is an enjoyable past-time, as well as an essential skill. Support is available to assist your child through the stages of literacy skill development, and in navigating any difficulties that may arise. Adults may like support with acquiring literacy skills that they can use across their lifespan.
- Voice Therapy: Protect and develop your voice by supporting to speak with clarity and use effective voice hygiene techniques (e.g., adequate water consumption, avoid excessive overuse, etc).
- Stuttering and Speech Fluency: Help to speak fluently by learning techniques designed to treat and manage fluency disorders (e.g., stuttering).
- Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC): For those that may have significant communication difficulties, Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) methods can be used to supplement or replace verbal or written language. Support is available to guide what AAC methods can benefit each individual.
