Speech Therapy & Therapeutic Horticulture

Supporting adults navigate life after stroke, traumatic brain injury, and adult autism diagnosis.

Our Services

We provide Speech Pathology and Therapeutic Horticulture services to people experiencing:

  • Aphasia happens when the part of the brain that controls language is impacted after conditions like stroke or brain injury. This can affect how you understand and use language, including listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

  • Dysarthria is a motor-speech disorder that changes the way muscles we use for speaking work together. It can affect how your voice sounds, the clarity of your speech, and rhythm of your spoken sentences.

  • A motor-speech condition that makes it hard to say words correctly, although you know what you want to say. Words may come out differently each time you try to speak, or feel stuck, or it can take a lot of effort to get the sounds right.

  • Changes and difficulties with the safety, efficiency, and muscle function for chewing, drinking, eating, and swallowing. This often occurs after stroke, brain injury, or as part of progressive neurological disorders.

  • Cognitive communication changes to the way we think, understand, remember, organise, and use language after brain injury.

  • Support for people who have come into a diagnosis of neurodivergence in adulthood to learn about self-advocacy, accessing supports, understanding your neurotype, and social communication styles.

  • Therapeutic Horticulture (TH) is a practice that uses plants and gardening to help people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally.

    We run a therapeutic horticulture group designed to foster social connections and strengthen people's bonds with nature.
