Speech Therapy for Swallowing Issues

Welcome to Perth Adult Speech Pathology. We are recognised as one of Perth’s most experienced and respected Speech Therapy clinics specialising in adult communication and swallowing difficulties.

Dysphagia is the medical term for any swallowing problem eg. when someone has difficulties chewing food or keeping food/fluid in their mouth. Difficulty swallowing may lead to fluid going down the “wrong way” causing coughing and choking. This could ultimately lead to chest infections (aspiration pneumonia).
