Evolving Speech Pathology provides services for children and adults of all ages who have difficulties with speech, language, literacy, stuttering, voice and swallowing.
Speech Pathology services should be accessible to everyone! We offer a mobile service to suit busy schedules.
Allie McLoughlin is a born and raised Southern Highlands local and is dedicated to improving communication and swallowing abilities for those in her local community.
Our Services
-
Language
Receptive Language is understanding what others say or read.
Expressive language is sharing our thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
-
Articulation
How we make speech sounds using the mouth, lips, tongue and soft palate. For example, we need to be able to say the “r” sound to say "rabbit" instead of "wabbit.”
-
Swallowing
Swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) is any problem with sucking, swallowing, drinking, chewing, eating, controlling saliva, taking medication, or protecting the lungs from food and drink ‘going the wrong way’.
-
Social Communication
A neurodiversity-affirming approach to social communication is one which appreciates the preferences, interaction styles and communication priorities of neurodivergent individuals.
-
Voice
How we use our vocal folds and breath to make sounds. Our voice can be loud or soft or high- or low-pitched. We can hurt our voice by talking too much, yelling, or coughing a lot.
-
Stuttering
This is the rhythm and flow of our speech. We sometimes repeat sounds or pause while talking. People who experience this frequently may stutter.
