The speech-language therapy department works with people to support them with communication, swallowing or both. Speech-language therapy can involve:
- assessment and diagnosis
- rehabilitation services
- education and advice on using supportive strategies.
Common conditions that we can help with include:
- difficulty with language (aphasia/dysphasia)
- difficulty with speech (dysarthria)
- voice changes (dysphonia)
- difficulties swallowing (dysphagia)
- chronic cough and airway disorders
- gender affirming voice
- stuttering (dysfluency).
For children who have difficulty swallowing or communicating, see:
