Supporting Confident Communication and Participation Through Improved Fluency
Supporting Effective Communication for Everyday Life

Our speech pathologists provide evidence-based, person-centred fluency therapy, tailored to individual needs and goals, with a focus on functional, real-world communication outcomes.
What is Fluency?
Fluency refers to the smoothness and flow of speech. Fluency difficulties may include:

Prolongations of sounds

Blocks or pauses when trying to speak

Tension or effort during speech

Avoidance of speaking situations
Fluency difficulties can vary in severity and presentation and may change over time or across different situations.
