Here at The Feeding Clinic we can help your loved ones navigate through their difficulty swallowing or managing mealtimes with a huge range of therapeutic options.

🌟 We can prescribe certain exercises or therapy tools (if clinically indicated), to help improve the muscles used to swallow.

🌟 We can modify food and drink (including formula and expressed breast milk) consistencies to make it easier and safer to chew, swallow or clear the bolus. We work with you to create a tailor-centred meal plan to adhere to your goals and quality of life.

🌟 Did you know certain mealtime strategies and postures can also assist with mealtime safety? Well, we can help with that!

🌟 We always provide thorough, clear and detailed education to assist you and your loved ones through mealtimes to ensure they are fun and safe.

Let us help you navigate through your swallowing concerns! Reach out to us today, we would love to help you! 💙

At The Feeding Clinic, we loveee the Dr. Brown's Baby range! ✨

When it comes to paediatric feeding, they really have thought of it all - from bottle feeding to breast feeding, and everything in between! 🤩

For those bottle feeding, we love the narrow and wide neck bottles, and the different sized teats to suit the flow rate for your little ones.

What we really love is the new Specialty Feeding System, designed with an infant-paced feeding valve. This valve is so useful for infants with cleft lip and palate, tongue-tie, high-arched palate and so much more! So useful for so many babies on our caseload! 🍼

We understand that this range might not suit every little one, however a good option to consider when looking at bottle feeding.

If you are needing support with bottle or breast feeding, or if you need assistance navigating through the multitude of teats and bottles on the market, please contact us today, we would love to help you! 🌸

We want to support you (and your family) in having a happy and full baby, easy mealtimes, by assisting with parental attachment and relationships, and therefore resulting in happy enjoyable feeding experiences 🥰

ꜱᴘᴇᴇᴄʜ ᴘᴀᴛʜᴏʟᴏɢʏ ᴡᴇᴇᴋ 2024! 🗣

Communication is more than speaking. In our day-to-day lives, how many modes of communication do you have? Spoken, texting, phone calls, emails, and social media...the list is endless! 📱📞

Did you know? An estimated 1.2 million Australians have communication support needs. This means they need assistance to communicate and get their message across. This could be due to a multitude of reasons.

Everyone communicates differently, whether this is spoken, signed, digital or written. So, let's appreciate all the amazing types of communication modes that are available.

Speech Pathologists empower people to communicate their way.

This might include:
💙using their voice to speak
💙aided devices such as AAC aids and technology
💙unaided supports like Auslan and Keyword Sign

We are university-trained allied health professionals that are dedicated to helping people achieve their communication goals, whether it's a child with a developmental language delay, someone recovering from a stroke, or anyone needing support to communicate.

Let's help raise awareness and encourage everyone to communicate their own way!✨

𝕊𝕡𝕖𝕖𝕔𝕙 ℙ𝕒𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕠𝕘𝕪 𝕎𝕖𝕖𝕜 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟜! 🗣

Today marks the start of Speech Pathology week for 2024! 🎊

The theme is 'communicate your way'. Although we are predominantly focused on dysphagia (swallowing and mealtimes), the way we all communicate will always be at the forefront of our practice. We want to highlight that everyone communicates differently; whether it’s spoken, signed, digital, or written. Communication bridges gaps, fosters meaning and understanding, and strengthens relationships. It’s about making connections and expressing ourselves in unique ways.

We all have our distinctive way of communicating and so let's celebrate that this week! ✨
