Speech language pathology services provided by the department support students with speech, language and communication difficulties or with eating and drinking difficulties who are experiencing barriers to learning.
Through the whole-school approach to supporting student learning, the service assists schools to build students' communication, language and learning, including literacy skills. The speech language pathologist works collaboratively as part of the school team to build capability, adjust curriculum to meet the diverse needs of learners with speech language communication difficulties, identify and monitor the needs of students and implement evidence-based strategies to support students.
