Speech Therapy at Curewell
Speech and language therapy supports children and adults with communication, language, voice and swallowing difficulties.
After a detailed assessment, therapists design personalised programmes targeting speech sounds, understanding and expression, fluency, voice quality, social communication or safe swallowing. We involve families in goal-setting, provide home practice materials and offer transparent updates on progress. Sessions emphasise functional outcomes—confidence in conversation, classroom participation and safe eating and drinking. Where helpful, we coordinate with teachers and clinicians so strategies reinforce each other. Our approach is compassionate and accessible, with practical education that supports everyday communication in real-life settings. We respect culture and context.

Frequently Asked Questions
Speech and language therapy can support people whose speech is unclear, who stammer, who have difficulty understanding or using language, who have voice problems such as hoarseness, or who struggle with swallowing and feeding. It can help children and adults, whether the difficulty has been present for a long time or started after illness or injury.
Your therapist will ask about your concerns, how communication or swallowing affects everyday life and what you hope will change. They may use observation, conversation, play-based tasks or formal assessments, depending on age and situation. The results are then explained in clear terms and you agree together whether therapy is needed and what the goals should be.
Sessions are practical and usually quite interactive. They may include games or activities to build specific skills, conversation practice, work on sounds or words, exercises to support swallowing or voice, and discussion of strategies you can use in real settings such as school, work or home. The therapist will always explain the purpose of each activity.
The frequency and length of therapy depend on the difficulty, its severity and your goals. Some people benefit from a short block of weekly sessions with home practice, while others with more complex needs may require longer-term support. Your therapist will suggest a schedule, review progress regularly and adjust the plan as needed.
Families play a key role in making therapy work. You may be shown ways to respond to communication attempts, to build language into everyday routines, to adapt mealtimes for safer swallowing or to practise specific exercises between appointments. When new strategies become part of daily life, change tends to be faster and more lasting.
