When you think of a Speech Pathologist, you might immediately think of children who stutter, or toddlers with delayed language. However, Speech Pathologists also play a crucial role in supporting adults as well. We are delighted to announce that Bethan, our new Speech Pathologist has launched an adult clinic here at Tyack Health. We understand the essential role that effective communication plays in your daily life. Whether you are looking to address swallowing concerns, overcome voice challenges, or enhance your communication, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way. 

How We Can Help:

Swallowing Difficulties (e.g., Dysphagia)

We assess swallowing function, deliver therapy and education, offer recommendations for adjustments to diet and fluids, suggest feeding methods, swallowing techniques and refer to other medical specialists if further investigation or assistance is required.

Communication Difficulties (e.g., Dysarthria, Apraxia, Aphasia, Cognitive-Communication)

Various disorders can affect speech, language, and overall communication abilities. We provide assessments and interventions tailored to your communication goals for daily living.

Voice Difficulties (e.g., Dysphonia)

We address changes in voice clarity, production or volume of voice following evaluation by an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. Therapy includes education and techniques such as vocal exercises, lifestyle adjustments and breathing exercises for effective communication.

What we Offer:

  • Comprehensive assessments: personalised evaluations to identify specific voice, language, or swallowing issues.
  • Specialised therapy: tailored treatment plans designed to meet your unique needs and goals.
  • Patient-centered care: compassionate support and education to empower you on your journey to better communication
