Speech

Motor speech disorders can make it difficult for adults to speak clearly, affecting daily interactions and quality of life. These disorders arise when the brain has trouble sending the proper signals to the muscles involved in speech, often due to neurological conditions like stroke, brain injury, or neurodegenerative diseases.

Our team of skilled Speech Pathologists works closely with you to create a customised therapy plan designed to improve speech articulation, coordination, and strength as a result of Dysarthria or Apraxia of Speech. Whether you’re dealing with slurred speech, difficulty forming words, or inconsistent speech patterns, we use proven techniques to help you regain your ability to communicate clearly and confidently.

Our functional approach means we work on things that matter most to you and treat speech therapy holistically. As part of your therapy, our team may address breathing patterns or look at orofacial myofunctional exercises to improve speech function.

We understand the challenges of motor speech disorders, and we’re committed to providing compassionate, effective care to help you reconnect with the world around you.

If speech rehabilitation is not a viable option, our dedicated Speech Pathologists can work with you or your loved one to explore Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) solutions.
