Speech Therapy Services
Helping children, adolescents and adults communicate, connect and thrive.
At Sydney Exercise Medicine, our Speech Pathologists provide evidence-based assessment, diagnosis and therapy for speech, language, communication, voice, feeding and swallowing difficulties. We work with children, adolescents and adults living with disability, neurological conditions, developmental delay and complex support needs. Therapy is individualised and goal-focused, aimed at communication, independence, confidence and mealtime participation.

Individualised Speech Therapy and Intervention
Personalised, evidence-based programs built around each person's needs, abilities and goals.
Children
We help children find their voice through play-based, engaging therapy. Sessions focus on clearer speech, building vocabulary and sentences, and the early social skills that help children connect with family and friends.
Where spoken language is still developing, we introduce AAC and visual supports so every child has a way to communicate. Parents and carers are given simple strategies to keep progress going at home.
Adolescents
The teenage years bring new communication demands. We support young people to build conversation and social skills, manage fluency and feel more confident speaking up.
Therapy is practical and goal-focused, helping adolescents communicate effectively at school, in the community and as they move towards greater independence.
Adults
We work with adults on voice, fluency and the cognitive-communication changes that can follow a brain injury or stroke, as well as communication changes linked to neurological conditions.
Our focus is on what matters to you: communicating at work, with family and in your community, so you can keep taking part in everyday life with confidence.
Feeding and Swallowing
Mealtimes should be safe and enjoyable. We support children and adults with food aversions, limited variety and texture progression, building skills gradually and at a comfortable pace.
We also work on chewing and swallowing coordination and develop strategies for safer eating and drinking, with clear mealtime plans for families and carers.
Feeding, Swallowing and Dysphagia
Eating and drinking can become difficult for many reasons, including developmental disability, genetic conditions, stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's disease or ageing. We assess chewing, oral motor function and swallowing coordination, then build a plan that prioritises safety, nutrition, independence and quality of life.
We train families, carers and support workers, and work closely with dietitians, occupational therapists and medical practitioners so everyone is aligned.
