Speech Therapy

Imagine not being able to communicate, not being able to express your thoughts and feelings, or not being able to understand what someone else is saying to you…

Communication is a complex aspect of human behaviour. A child or adult with a communication disorder may encounter many obstacles to learning, communicating and employment. Speech and Language Therapy thus forms an integral part of rehabilitation and normal functioning.

Speech and Language Therapists also specialise in helping patients with swallowing difficulties that can result from strokes or head injury.
