Speech, language and communication are essential in everyday life. However, having issues in any or all of these important areas can negatively affect both adults and children, hindering their daily functioning and denting confidence and self-esteem.
Such issues can include, but are not limited to:
- Dysphagia (i.e., difficulty swallowing)
- Stuttering
- Speech disorders, e.g. slurred speech
- Communication disorders, e.g. difficulty expressing oneself clearly
- Voice impairments, e.g. hoarseness, vocal fold palsy
This is when a Speech Therapist steps in. Specially educated and trained in human communication, development and disorders, these specialists can help guide individuals in overcoming challenges in their speech, language and communication abilities and enjoy a better quality of life.

How to Choose the Right Speech Therapist?
Although there is no ideal Speech Therapist, it is still important to select one who is the best fit for you or your loved one. There are many factors to consider, such as unique needs, nature of the condition, personal preferences, and so on.
These are some questions you can ask when looking for a Speech Therapist:
- For child’s Speech Therapy, does the Speech Therapist possess the necessary skills and experience to handle children and have the ability to engage and interact well with children?
- Collaboration with parents is a must for better support, continuity and a positive learning experience for the child. Does the Speech Therapist emphasise active partnership and open communication with parents and caregivers?
- Does the therapist have the required know-how and experience in handling similar conditions/disorders?
- Does the Speech Therapist provide various modes of service delivery and offer you the flexibility to select a mode that is the most convenient for you?
- Does the Speech Therapist have a network of professionals from other specialisations to provide holistic care?
