What does a speech therapist do?

Speech therapists help you reach your full potential, even when you’re experiencing communication difficulties. Additionally, they can assess your swallow and formulate a diet that allows you to maintain the right nutritional state, without placing yourself at risk.

At Concentric Rehab, our speech therapists are able to work with those who have long-standing problems with talking and interpreting language. Additionally, they can work with those who’ve developed such problems following an acute neurological event, such as a stroke. In such instances, they may work alongside a broader team of allied health professionals, including physiotherapists and occupational therapists.

Our speech therapists are also able to assess and work with variations in the way you speak. This includes the sudden development of abnormalities such as speaking in a croaky or breathy voice. Additionally, they can help you overcome problems such as stammers and struggling to find the right words.

When it comes to managing swallowing difficulties, our speech therapists can use a range of diagnostic tools to determine what is safe for you to swallow. Depending on their findings, they may recommend thickening your liquids, switching to soft foods, and other safety methods that allow you to maintain your diet.

Who might benefit from NDIS speech therapy?

Patients from all walks of life can benefit from NDIS speech therapy. Some of the most common reasons include:

Managing speech and swallowing difficulties following a stroke
Swallowing assessments and management with conditions such as achalasia and esophageal cancer
Swallowing, speech, and language management in older patients
Language comprehension in those with long-term disabilities

In addition to working directly with patients, those who provide our NDIS speech therapy services can liaise with carers and family members. For your convenience, they also provide mobile services where necessary.
