VISION AS A TEAM
Our vision is to deliver evidence based and individualised programs, tailored to meet every need. Sydney Therapy & Co work collaboratively with our clients, specialists and teaching professionals to achieve success in therapy as well as in the classroom, university, workplace – and in everyday life.
Why a Speech Pathologist?
As speech language pathologists, we work with children, young people and adults to meet their speech, language, voice, social and fluency goals. This may include therapy that targets:
- using clear speech sounds
- following directions and concepts to understand others in the daily environment
- using appropriate vocabulary to express thoughts, feelings and ideas
- managing social skills for better interaction with peers, and in the community
- use of family based stuttering therapy to manage fluency
- improved literacy skills for reading, writing and spelling
- improved skills in written expression for all stages of development and for use at all levels of school, university and in professional and daily communication settings
- accessing learning support in the given environment by working closely with schools, specialists, educators carers and other professionals
- building life skills in planning, organisation, time management, monitoring, self control and working memory.
- improving voice quality, strength and endurance for professional voice users
- cognitive communication skills after traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury
The ability to communicate effectively is often taken for granted but is essential in all aspects of everyday life.
