What is speech pathology?
Speech pathology, also known as speech therapy, involves assessing and treating difficulties with communication, speech, language, voice and swallowing.
A speech pathologist works with adults to:
- Strengthen the muscles used for speaking and swallowing
- Improve pronunciation and fluency
- Enhance understanding and use of language
- Build social and workplace communication skills
- Support safe eating and drinking
Speech pathology aims to make everyday communication easier and more enjoyable, improving confidence and participation in daily life.
How speech therapy helps adults
Our NDIS speech pathology team supports people living with a wide range of communication and swallowing difficulties. We work with each person’s abilities, goals and environment to help make communication easier and mealtimes safer.
Common areas of support include:
- Mispronunciation or unclear speech
- Understanding and using new vocabulary
- Following directions and expressing needs clearly
- Stuttering or speech fluency challenges
- Communication and social skills for people with autism or developmental conditions
- Using symbols, devices or sign language to communicate
- Difficulty swallowing food or drinks safely
- Slurred or imprecise speech after injury or illness
- Trouble understanding what others say or write
- Coughing or choking during meals
We also support adults with acquired communication and swallowing disorders, including those related to:
- Brain injury or stroke
- Progressive neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis
- Dementia or cognitive decline
- Head and neck cancer
- Voice and resonance disorders
Each person receives an individualised speech therapy plan designed to meet their specific goals, improve communication confidence and support independence in daily life.
How is speech therapy done for adults?
Every program begins with a comprehensive assessment by a qualified speech pathologist.
From there, your clinician will design a therapy plan tailored to your goals and challenges.
Therapy may include:
- Speech and language exercises
- Voice and breathing training
- Swallowing rehabilitation
- Cognitive-communication strategies
- Home practice supported by simple resources or digital tools
Sessions are available in-home or through telehealth, depending on your needs.
