We recently celebrated 1 year of The Speech Rehab Centre. What a year it has been! We opened our books to new clients and welcomed two new team members and two new babies! It’s been a privilege to offer stroke and traumatic brain injury specific Speech Pathology services to the community and help so many on their journey to recovery. Thank you to all of our clients, colleagues, families and friends who have supported us over the last year. Looking forward to seeing what we achieve over the next year and beyond. Watch this space!
