Speech-language Therapy Clinic

We offer professional speech-language therapy, including online and in-person sessions.

What we do

The friendly, specialist team at Massey's Speech-language Therapy Clinic in Auckland provides in-person and telepractice services in the following areas:

  • ACTIVEating for reluctant eaters
  • Adults with communication and swallowing difficulties

ACTIVEating for reluctant eaters

Our ACTIVEating programme helps children who are very reluctant eaters consume a wider variety of food. The course runs for 8 to 12 weeks and we tailor it to parents' or caregivers' goals.

Adult clinic

We see adults with communication and swallowing difficulties following stroke, dementia, and other brain-related changes. We run an aphasia group on campus. We also offer voice work, such as quality, pitch or volume.

Online therapy

Do you live outside Auckland? We may be able to offer you online speech and language therapy via video link.

Client quotes

"Thank you for the warm welcome and for building such a friendly atmosphere. We feel blessed and grateful to have found you all."

– Janet, whose 10-year-old daughter needed help with restrictive eating

"The students were able to observe me and come up with fun and interesting games that helped me to follow directions and stay on track — something that has been a huge problem since having aphasia."

– Karlene, online therapy client
