Description:

 

Communication, the process of being able to understand and be understood, is something most of us take for granted. Communication disabilities are the result of problems with speech, using and understanding language, voice, fluency and hearing. One in seven Australians has a communication disability present at birth or acquired in later life. A speech therapist can help these children and adults lead more fulfilled lives.
