Communication Therapy

Communication Therapy for Adults

Supporting Adults Across Bunbury, Busselton, and the South West WA to Stay Connected!

Communication is more than words — it’s about connection, independence, and quality of life. Adults may experience communication difficulties after a stroke, brain injury, progressive neurological condition (such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, or Motor Neurone Disease), dementia, or functional neurological disorder (FND). At Advance Speech Plus, we provide evidence-based therapy and practical support to help adults regain confidence and be understood in everyday life.

What Communication Difficulties Can Adults Have?

Adults may experience:

Aphasia – difficulty finding words, understanding language, or forming sentences.

Dysarthria – slurred or unclear speech due to weak or uncoordinated muscles.

Cognitive-communication difficulties – problems with attention, memory, or organisation after brain injury or illness.

Progressive communication changes – as part of conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s, or MND.
