Speech and Language Therapy assesses and supports communication and swallowing needs.

Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) involves assessment and support for speech, language, communication and swallowing. Following a detailed history and observation, a therapist may provide targeted exercises, environmental strategies and advice for families or carers.

Intervention is individualised and may focus on articulation, language comprehension, voice use, fluency or safe swallowing, depending on need. Collaboration with medical teams, schools or workplaces is common.

SLT complements medical assessment. Urgent issues such as sudden swallowing difficulties require immediate clinical attention.

• Typical format: assessment plus therapy sessions; frequency varies.
• What to expect: structured activities, clear goals and practical strategies.
