Services We Offer

Assessments play a crucial role in the field of Speech Pathology, serving to assess an individual's speech, language, and broader communication skills. These evaluations are instrumental in pinpointing areas of challenge and guiding the development of the treatment strategies provided to our clients. 

Following assessments, we provide comprehensive report writing services to document findings and outline tailored treatment plans. These reports serve as invaluable resources for both clients and other healthcare professionals involved. 

Literacy in speech therapy refers to reading, writing, and comprehension skills necessary for effective communication using written language. Speech Pathologists address literacy areas including phonological awareness, phonics, decoding, comprehension, and written expression to support academic success and overall communication abilities. To ensure the highest level of evidence-based practice, Pursuit Therapy provides literacy intervention services through a systematic synthetic phonics program.

Articulation refers to the precision and clarity with which an individual produces speech sounds. It involves the ability to accurately manipulate the tongue, lips, jaw, and palate to produce sounds that are intelligible. Articulation therapy aims to address any difficulties a person may have in producing specific speech sounds, enhancing their overall communication skills and intelligibility.

In Speech Pathology, we work on two key parts of communication: understanding and expressing. Receptive language is about understanding spoken or written words, while expressive language is about sharing thoughts and ideas through speech or writing. 

Social communication involves verbal and nonverbal language used during social interactions. Our Speech Pathologists evaluate and address challenges associated with social communication, including social interactions, pragmatics, and conversational abilities. Through targeted interventions, we support individuals in developing vital skills for successful social engagement and creating and maintaining meaningful relationships.

Stuttering is a speech motor disorder characterised by one or more of the following: repeating sounds, words or phrases, prolonging sounds

blocking before the sound begins, facial grimaces, twitching or irregular breathing. Through targeted intervention approaches we support individuals in using strategies to help facilitate smooth and fluent speech.
