Speech
Intelligibility/clarity/pronunciation of speech sounds, including articulation and phonology.
Fluency
The flow of speech, including the smoothness and rhythm. One fluency disorder is stuttering.
Receptive Language Skills
The ability to understand and process language. It includes listening skills, vocabulary understanding, sentence comprehension, and contextual skills.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
AAC refers to methods, tools, and strategies used to help individuals with communication difficulties express themselves. It may include Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Proloquo2Go, Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display (PODD), communication boards, etc.
Parent Education
Providing parents (or caregivers) with the knowledge, strategies, and tools they need to support their child's speech and language development or manage any communication challenges the child may be facing. This approach emphasises collaboration between speech pathologists and families, aiming to empower parents to be active participants in their child's therapy and development.

Voice
For individuals with voice disorders (e.g., hoarseness, breathiness, or vocal cord paralysis), therapy helps with vocal hygiene, breath control, and proper voice use to reduce strain and improve vocal quality.
Cognitive Communication
Therapy to improve cognitive processes that support communication is important for individuals with conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, or dementia. This includes memory, attention and focus, problem-solving and reasoning, and executive functioning skills.
Swallowing Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation to determine the severity of swallowing difficulties, also known as dysphagia. It helps identify any problems that might interfere with a person’s ability to swallow food, liquids, or saliva properly, assess the risk of aspiration (food or liquid entering the airway, which can lead to choking or pneumonia), and to recommend appropriate interventions and treatment strategies to improve swallowing safety and efficiency.
