Individuals with neurological conditions including traumatic brain injury, stroke, post concussion syndrome, progressive neurological illnesses and executive functioning difficulties.
We are passionate about providing neurodiversity-affirming practices when working with our autistic adolescents and young adults.
WHERE ARE WE LOCATED?
Neuro Speech Connections is a private Speech Pathology practice servicing South West Victoria.
​
Neuro Speech Connections is a mobile service which means we can come to you - in your home, school, workplace or community. We believe that because communication occurs in many different environments, it makes sense that speech therapy should too.
​
For those who prefer a traditional clinic setting, Neuro Speech Connections also provides clinic-based appointments in one of our 3 clinic locations. Appointments are available on specific days/times, providing our participants with the convenience of choice.
​
Neuro Speech Connections also provides assessment and treatment via Telehealth which enables us to support individuals who may not be able to travel or prefer this method of service delivery.
