Vox Speech Pathology offers evidence based speech therapy to help you achieve your goals
Language disorders
A language disorder impairs a person's ability to understand or use spoken, written, or signed language.
Language disorders can be present from birth such as in autism, intellectual disability or as an isolated developmental language disorder.
Language disorders can also be acquired (aphasia). This can occur after brain injury, stroke, or neurological disease.
Orofacial myofunctional
Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) involve improper muscle function and resting posture of the lips, tongue, and jaw. This can lead to chronic mouth breathing, tongue-thrust swallowing, and misaligned teeth.
Therapy targets these issues through specific, targeted exercises to improve speech, eating, and breathing.
Literacy
Literacy difficulties encompass a wide range of learning difficulties that affect an individual's ability to develop age-appropriate reading, writing, and spelling skills. These can stem from neurobiological differences (like dyslexia), environmental factors, or other developmental difficulties.
Therapy includes developing pre literacy skills, phonics skills, comprehension and narrative skills
Speech and fluency
A speech disorder is a condition that affects your ability to produce sounds required for clear communication.
Common types of speech disorders include fluency disorders, motor speech disorders, and speech sound disorders
Therapy for speech and fluency can help to improve speech sound production, overall speech clarity and fluency, and improve speaking confidence.
Voice
Voice disorders include conditions like vocal nodules, vocal cord paralysis, and muscle tension dysphonia. Therapy involves behavioural and physical techniques to rehabilitate the voice.
Speech therapy can also help with Parkinson's-related voice, communication, and swallowing difficulties. SPEAKOUT! Parkison's therapy teaches intentional use of voice to improve speech related Parkinson's symptoms.
Social communication
Social (pragmatic) communication difficulties occur where people have difficulty using verbal and nonverbal language in social contexts. It can occur with conditions such as autism or as an isolated disorder.
Speech therapy can teach people how to adapt language to different listeners, follow conversation rules, and interpret non-verbal cues to build confidence and communication skills. Social skills therapy is often delivered in a group setting to build real life skills and confidence.
