We assess and treat a range of childhood speech and language concerns such as:
• Speech sound disorders/articulation (difficulty saying certain speech sounds)
• Early language delay (late talking, fewer words than expected)
• Communication challenges related to autism, cerebral palsy, global developmental delay, genetic conditions, and prematurity
• Stuttering
• Voice disorders, vocal cord dysfunction

We have extensive experience in assessing and treating a variety of paediatric feeding and swallowing challenges, which include:
• Feeding tube weaning
• Dysphagia rehabilitation
• Managing restricted diets or 'picky eaters'
• Addressing delayed oral motor skills and difficulty transitioning to solid foods
• Overcoming early breast and bottle feeding challenges
• Tackling sensory feeding challenges
• Aspiration management and thickener weaning
• Navigating complex feeding challenges in the context of genetic and/or developmental conditions
We assess and treat a variety of speech, language and swallowing concerns in the adult population, including:
• Dysarthria (slurred or slow speech, often occurring post brain injury)
• Aphasia (language difficulty acquired after a brain injury, such as a stroke)
• Oral and pharyngeal dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
• Communication and/or swallowing issues related to head & neck cancer, conditions like MND, Parkinson’s disease, myasthenia gravis, and other neurological disorders
• Communication and/or swallowing issues related to Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
• Voice disorders, vocal cord dysfunction

Our experienced team specialises in assessing and managing a variety of upper airway disorders that can affect communication and/or result in feeding and swallowing challenges. We address conditions such as:
• Dysphonia (voice difficulty)
• Vocal nodules
• Vocal cord palsy
• Vocal cord dysfunction (also known as inducible laryngeal obstruction) including exercise-induced
• Laryngeal cleft
• Complex airway challenges like laryngeal reconstruction, subglottic stenosis, and obstruction
• Tracheostomy
• Laryngomalacia
