Speech Therapy
What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is a specialised field focused on the assessment and treatment of communication disorders, speech impairments, and swallowing difficulties. Our speech therapists work with individuals of all ages to improve their communication skills, ensuring they can express themselves effectively and confidently. Whether it’s addressing a child’s speech delay or helping an adult regain communication abilities after a stroke, speech therapy plays a crucial role in enhancing quality of life.
