Not Sure If You Need Support?
Ask yourself (or on behalf of someone you care for):
Do people often ask you to repeat yourself?
Does your voice sound weaker or breathy?
Do you cough when you eat or drink?
Is swallowing food or pills difficult at times?
Do you sometimes struggle to say words without a delay or stutter?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, our speech pathologists can help.
