🌟 Who Needs a Speech Pathologist? 🌟
Speech Pathologists support people across all stages of life — from newborns to older adults.

We help with:
🍼 Infant & toddler needs: feeding, early communication, language delays
🎒 School-aged support: speech clarity, literacy, social skills, autism, stuttering, AAC
👩‍💼 Adult needs: voice, fluency, brain injury, stroke, aphasia, swallowing, executive function
👵 Ageing: memory changes, degenerative conditions, communication, and safe swallowing

Speech Pathology isn’t just about “speech” — it’s about communication, safety, independence, and confidence in everyday life.

If you’ve ever wondered whether someone might benefit from seeing a Speech Pathologist, this is a great place to start. 💬✨

🧠💨💬 How do we speak?
Speaking is something most of us do daily, yet the process is incredibly intricate and precisely coordinated.

—>The brain selects the word or message.
—>The lungs regulate airflow.
—>The larynx (voice box) vibrates, generating sound.
—>The tongue, lips, and mouth then mold that sound into distinct speech.

Every word relies on this entire system functioning together. It’s no wonder voice changes, speech difficulties, or neurological conditions can significantly impact communication.

🗣️ Speech is a remarkable motor skill—appreciate your voice.

A different view of what actually happens when we speak and sing. Crazy to think those vocal folds are so tiny (1.7 - 2.5cm), and can produce something so profound.
