Help at hand for speech

1 JANUARY 2003

Help is at hand for adults having problems with their speech, voice, fluency, communication or swallowing. Final year students in the speech pathology course at Charles Sturt University (CSU), based in Albury-Wodonga, will run intensive speech pathology services for clients over 10 weeks, starting Monday 25 July. Acting course coordinator, Dr Anna O’Callaghan said the clients will also “help educate and provide invaluable experience for speech pathologists of the future, many of whom are destined for positions in regional Australia”. Clinics will run from 9am to 5pm each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday until Friday 30 September at the Education and Research in Communication Clinic (ERiCC building) on the University’s Thurgoona site. “One in seven Australians has a communication disability, which can be present at birth or acquired later in life. Adults often experience acquired communication disabilities following a stroke or traumatic brain injury and can suffer frustration, anger, embarrassment or grief as they try to communicate.” To take part in this intensive remedial program, contact Dr O’Callaghan on telephone (02) 6051 9223 or send an email.
