Speech Pathology Week 19- 25 August 2018

Speech Pathologists specialise in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a range of language and communication disorders. Specifically speech pathologists are able to help with:

• Assessment and intervention for articulation delays/disorders
• Assessment and intervention for language delays/disorders
• Support for Verbal Dyspraxia
• School readiness
• Treatment of stuttering
• Bilingualism
• Support for communication difficulties associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other developmental disabilities.

There are some great resources online to help parents work out whether their child needs to see a speech pathologist. Speech Pathology Australia is a great place to start:

Another useful (and more general site) is the Raising Children website which has some great information on language delay:
