Perth Speech Pathology for Adults

Brightwater’s speech pathologist services focus on helping clients communicate successfully, using their own abilities to get their message across. This may include writing, drawing, pointing, or using gestures and body language. Our NDIS registered speech therapists aid speech and language development as well as communication and swallowing development using evidence-based techniques and personalised therapy plans. The goal for speech pathologist services is to help clients convey what they want and empower them to improve their quality of life. Speech pathologist services include: 

  • Techniques and treatments to decrease dysphagia
  • Mealtime management and equipment
  • Communication therapy and supports including augmentative and alternative communication.
