Speech pathologists are a vital part of the allied health team, often working with professionals like occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians, and educators to provide holistic care. At My Speech Pathology Tasmania, this collaboration is built into how we deliver services by communicating with other professionals where appropriate.

With Occupational Therapists (OTs) – www.myottasmania.org.au/
Speech pathologists and OTs often co-manage clients with sensory processing challenges, feeding difficulties, or developmental delays. While OTs focus on motor and sensory integration, speech pathologists address oral motor skills, communication, and mealtime behaviours.

With Psychologists – www.mypsychology.org.au/
For clients with autism, ADHD, or mental health concerns, psychologists may focus on emotional regulation and behaviour, while speech pathologists support social communication, expressive language, and understanding emotions.

With Dietitians – www.mynutrihealth.org.au/
When feeding issues are present, especially in children or those with sensory aversions, speech pathologists collaborate with dietitians to ensure safe swallowing and nutritional intake.

With Physiotherapists:
In cases like stroke recovery or neurological conditions, physiotherapists work on mobility and strength, while speech pathologists assist with swallowing, speech clarity, and cognitive-communication rehabilitation.

With Educators and Support Workers: Speech pathologists provide training and strategies to help teachers and carers support communication goals in everyday settings.

Speech pathology can play a powerful role in supporting individuals with a neurodivergence diagnosis (such as autism, ADHD, or other developmental differences) by helping them communicate more effectively and confidently in their everyday lives.

Speech Pathology could Support Neurodivergent Individuals with:
Social Communication Skills: Therapy can help with understanding social cues, turn-taking in conversation, and expressing emotions appropriately.
Language Development: Assistance with both understanding and using spoken and written language, which may be delayed or atypical in some neurodivergent individuals.
Alternative Communication (AAC): For those who are non-speaking or minimally verbal, speech pathologists can introduce tools like communication boards or speech-generating devices.
Sensory Eating & Mealtime Management: Support for individuals with sensory sensitivities around food, textures, or difficulties with swallowing.
Literacy Skills: Targeted support for reading and writing challenges, often linked with language processing differences.

Speech Pathology Week is coming up from 25 to 31 August 2025 – a national campaign led by Speech Pathology Australia to raise awareness about the vital role speech pathologists play in helping Australians communicate and connect.

Why It Matters
1.2 million Australians have a communication disability.
Communication is a basic human right – but not everyone has equal access to it.
Speech pathologists support people of all ages with:
Speaking and understanding language
Reading and writing
Using alternative communication methods
Swallowing safely

At My Speech Pathology Tasmania, we’re proud to support this mission every day. This week, let’s celebrate the power of communication and the professionals who make it possible.

"She didn’t go to the hospital, not because it wasn’t serious, but because no one ever told her it could be a brain injury."

Did you know?
Repeated head trauma from domestic violence can cause lifelong brain injury.
Brain injuries caused by domestic and family violence are far more common than we think.

Survivors often live with symptoms like memory loss, confusion, and fatigue, misdiagnosed as stress, burnout, or even depression. The trauma is not always visible, but its impact can affect everything: health, employment, parenting, and independence.

Brain Injury Awareness Week is here, and this year, we’re demanding visible change for invisible -disabilities. For those impacted by domestic violence, this means:
-Routine screening for brain injuries
-Early intervention & rehab
-Perpetrator behaviour change programs
-Specialist training for frontline workers

No one should suffer in silence. We must do better.

Family involvement is an essential element in amplifying the success of speech therapy. When families actively participate in provided home-practice activities, progress accelerates, and gains are more likely to be sustained.

At My Speech Pathology Tasmania, we recognise that every family member plays a vital role in the journey toward improved communication. Our clinicians work closely with families to deliver practical tips and personalised strategies, ensuring that you feel equipped to support your loved one throughout their therapy journey.

Communication challenges come in many forms – from speech and language disorders to difficulties with fluency and voice. At My Speech Pathology Tasmania, we believe that every hurdle can be assisted with the right, tailored approach.

Our experienced clinicians employ a variety of evidence-based strategies to support diverse individuals in reclaiming clear and confident speech. Some techniques include:
Fluency Strategies: For clients experiencing stuttering, we can engage in evidence-based programs such as the Lidcombe and Camperdown Programs.

Voice Therapy: Specific interventions aimed at strengthening vocal projection and modulating pitch and tone, essential for those with voice disorders.

Personalised Language Support: For individuals with aphasia or other language difficulties, we develop customised rehabilitation plans designed to rebuild language skills and boost communication independence.

By combining these strategies with a supportive, client-centred approach, we empower our clients to bridge the gap to clear, confident communication.
