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
- Speech, language and communication support needs in children
ACTIVEating for reluctant eaters
Our ACTIVEating programme helps children who are very reluctant eaters to consume a wider variety of food. The course runs for 8 to 12 weeks and we tailor it to parents' or caregivers' goals.
Adult communication clinic
We see adults with communication difficulties following stroke, dementia, and other brain related changes. We run an aphasia group on campus. We also provide voice work (such as quality, pitch or volume).
Pediatric referral update
Our paediatric referral list is currently at capacity, and we're not accepting new referrals at this time.
As a university teaching clinic, appointment availability depends on student placements and clinical supervision.
Existing referrals remain on file and are reviewed as placement opportunities arise. Because these opportunities vary throughout the year, we can't predict whether or when a child will be offered an appointment.
We understand this may be disappointing for children and families seeking support. We also recognise the growing demand for speech-language therapy services. We're committed to training the future speech-language therapy workforce while continuing to explore opportunities to support children and families through our teaching clinic.
We'll update this page if we're able to accept new referrals in the future.
