HELPING ADULTS SPEAK, UNDERSTAND & CONNECT

Supporting Communication, One Conversation at a Time

Our Speech Pathologists work hand-in-hand with clients, families, and carers to provide caring, personalised support for people experiencing communication or swallowing challenges. We take the time to understand each person’s unique needs and tailor our approach to help them thrive.


We offer a range of assessments, including:

• Mealtime management plans
• Communication assessments — covering speech, language, fluency, and AAC (Alternative & Augmentative Communication)
• Literacy assessments — including reading and spelling


Therapy is designed around each individual and may support:
• Complex communication needs
• Speech sound disorders (e.g. dysarthria, apraxia, articulation, phonological disorders)
• Language disorders (developmental or acquired, such as aphasia)
• Fluency disorders (like stuttering)
• Literacy difficulties (including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning challenges)


We also offer practical training for families and carers, including:
• Communication partner strategies
• Mealtime management support
• AAC system training


Whether it’s finding your voice, improving everyday communication, or building confidence at mealtimes, we’re here to help, with warmth, expertise, and a commitment to making a real difference.

WHAT IS A SWALLOWING ASSESSMENT?

A swallowing assessment, sometimes called a mealtime management assessment, helps us understand how safely and effectively someone can eat and drink. It’s all about making mealtimes safer and more comfortable.


When is it needed?

If someone is having trouble swallowing, this assessment can help. Common signs include:

  • Choking or coughing during meals
  • A wet or gurgly voice after swallowing
  • Feeling short of breath after eating or drinking
  • Taking a long time to chew
  • Frequent chest infections (which may be linked to food or drink going down the wrong way)


Why is it helpful?

This assessment allows us to:

  • Recommend changes to food textures or drink thickness to make swallowing safer
  • Suggest techniques and strategies to support safe, confident eating and drinking


What happens during the assessment?

A speech pathologist will observe you eating and drinking in a typical mealtime setting. They may gently place their fingers on your throat to check how your muscles are working while you swallow. This isn’t painful and helps us understand what’s going on beneath the surface.


How to prepare

We’ll need a quiet space and a table to sit at. You might be asked to eat a few different foods you already have at home, but we can also bring some along if needed.

MEAL TIME MANAGEMENT

What is a Mealtime Management Plan

  A mealtime management plan is a document that summarises:

  • The swallowing difficulties identified during the swallowing assessment
  • The diet modifications and recommendations that are necessary to maximise safe swallowing
  • The most appropriate safe swallow strategies
  • Signs to look out for that may indicate swallowing difficulties in the future and when to contact a Speech Pathologist for reassessment 


When is this needed? 

A mealtime management plan is needed after a swallowing assessment to summarise the findings and discuss recommendations for safe swallowing 


What do I do with this?

After receiving a mealtime management plan, it is important that the document is reviewed thoroughly and discussed with your speech pathologist. The Speech Pathologist will provide training to the client and their significant others on how to effectively follow the mealtime management plan. The mealtime plan should remain in a salient position so that it can be quickly reviewed when needed.

We offer face to face services at our Narellan clinic and home visits to Camden, Campbelltown, Gregory Hills, Mt Annan, Macarthur  & Wollongong Areas.
