Speech Pathology
Speech Pathology services at Music Within provide intervention for babies all the way to adults. We work with the client and their family, in the areas of speech development, receptive language, expressive language, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), key word signs and communicative intent.
Music and singing is also incorporated within sessions particularly for early intervention. Music is a powerful platform that supports and enhances communication, intent, social connections and language development.

The Speech Pathology therapy program is tailored to each individual, based on their strengths and specific goals that are set during the assessment process. The goals are decided together with the client and/or family. The length and frequency are based on the individual's needs.
