Every person has something to say.

Speech pathologists support more than speech sounds. They assess and support understanding, expressing ideas, social communication, voice, fluency, literacy-related communication, alternative communication, and safe eating, drinking or swallowing.

Giving words to your thoughts, and power to your voice.

What is AAC?

Augmentative and alternative communication includes ways to communicate in addition to or instead of speech, such as signs, communication boards, apps or speech-generating devices.

Can a speech pathologist help with swallowing?

Yes. Speech pathologists are trained to assess swallowing and help manage eating and drinking safety. A dietitian addresses nutrition needs; the professionals may work together.

Do I need a referral?

You can contact Bloom directly. If you have an NDIS plan, our team can also work with your support coordinator, plan manager or other treating professionals.

Where are appointments held?

We primarily support people at home and in the community, with telehealth available when clinically appropriate. Clinic appointments may be available case by case.

Can Bloom work with my existing support team?

Yes. With your consent, we can collaborate with family, support workers, educators and other clinicians so strategies are practical and consistent.

How do I know whether my NDIS plan can fund this service?

Funding depends on whether your support relates to your disability goals and approved budget. If you have Improved Daily Living funding it is more than likely you will be able to access Speech Pathology. Our team can discuss your individual needs.
