Speech Pathology

At Ninja Allied Health, our speech pathology services help individuals of all ages improve their communication, language, and swallowing skills. Whether you’re seeking NDIS-funded support or private therapy, our qualified speech pathologists provide evidence-based assessments and interventions tailored to your goals.

Many people think of speech pathology (or speech therapy) as helping someone pronounce their speech sounds, supporting a “late talker” or someone who stutters. And while that’s part of what we do, speech therapy covers many more aspects in a person’s life.

Speech pathology is about  how humans communicate, connect, and make sense of the world, across the entire lifespan (from birth to our elderly population). It’s about much more than speech and how we talk. Everyone’s communication journey is unique, and that’s what makes our work so meaningful. Whether you’re a parent, a carer, or someone seeking support yourself, your story matters here.

Speech and Beyond

We support not just how people speak, but also how they understand, express, listen, eat, drink, read, think, and relate.

From toddlers learning their first words to school-aged children navigating the academic world to adults recovering from a stroke or managing neurological conditions, we work across a wide range of areas, including:

Helping the brain make sense of sounds — key for listening and learning
Supporting understanding and expression through spoken language
Building reading, writing, and comprehension skills
Strengthening memory, attention, and problem-solving
Supporting safe, comfortable eating/drinking across the lifespan
Empowering individuals with voice care and stuttering support
Honouring diverse ways of interacting and helping people build relationships in ways that feel natural and meaningful to them
Supporting multi-modal communication through tools like communication devices, visuals, and gestures — empowering individuals to express themselves in the way that works best for them

Speech pathologists work with children, adults, and everyone in between.

In paediatrics, our work might include helping a toddler find their first words, supporting a child with dyslexia or language delay, or empowering neurodivergent young people to communicate in ways that feel natural and authentic to them.

With adults, we might help someone re-learn to speak after a brain injury, support clear communication in progressive conditions like Parkinson’s or dementia, or work on safe swallowing and voice care in everyday life or professional settings.

Neuro-Affirming & Trauma-Informed

At the heart of our practice is a deep respect for each person’s identity, experiences, and way of being in the world.

We are proudly  neuro-affirming , meaning we don’t seek to “fix” or “normalise” people who are neurodivergent. Instead, we focus on communication supports that align with their needs and strengths.

We are also  trauma-informed, recognising that life experiences shape how people learn, trust, and communicate. We aim to create safe, empowering, and collaborative therapy spaces that honour every person’s story.
