Speech pathology at RM Therapy

Communication support for everyday life

Communication can happen through speech, gestures, signs, writing or communication aids. Our speech pathologists work with children, young people and adults to understand their communication strengths and needs and support participation in daily life.

We also assess and support eating, drinking and swallowing where this is within the treating clinician’s scope.

  • Understanding and using language.
  • Literacy and communication for learning and daily activities.
  • Different ways to communicate, including AAC.
  • Communication in relationships, school, work and the community.
  • Eating, drinking and swallowing concerns that need clinical assessment.

Getting started

What happens at the first appointment

Your speech pathologist will ask about what matters to you, the difficulties you have noticed and the settings where support is needed. Depending on the concern, the appointment may include conversation, observation or assessment.

You will discuss possible goals, what future sessions involve and how other people can help where you want them involved. Recommendations are tailored to the person; they are not the same for every communication need.
