Speech Pathologist Singapore | Total Communication

 Communication is more than just words — it connects us, empowers us, and shapes our world. At Total Communication in Singapore, we believe every individual deserves a voice that is heard clearly, confidently, and fully understood.

Your Trusted Speech Pathologist in Singapore

At Total Communication, we offer premier speech and language therapy services to help children and adolescents overcome communication barriers and thrive. Whether your child needs support with articulation, expressive language, social skills or fluency, our dedicated team is here to guide the journey.
With nearly two decades of experience, we craft individualized therapy plans grounded in evidence-based practice and delivered in warm, supportive settings.

What Does a Speech Pathologist (Speech-Language Therapist) Do?

A speech pathologist—also called a speech-language therapist—assesses, diagnoses, and treats communication and swallowing disorders. Their role includes:

·         Articulation and phonological disorders (difficulty producing certain sounds)

·         Language delays or disorders (expressive and receptive)

·         Fluency challenges such as stuttering

·         Voice and resonance disorders

·         Social and pragmatic communication difficulties

·         Feeding and swallowing (dysphagia), especially in pediatric or clinical populations

In Singapore, speech pathologists are allied health professionals often registered with Singapore’s professional bodies such as SALTS (Speech and Language Therapy Singapore). Public hospitals like KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital and NUH also include speech-language therapy as part of their rehabilitation services.

Why Choose Total Communication in Singapore?

1. Deep Experience & Specialist Team

Backed by nearly 20 years of service, our therapists bring in-depth clinical training and real-world experience. Many of our clinicians are AHPC-registered and provide supervision for professionals-in-training.

2. Holistic, Individualised Approach

We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all program. Each client receives an individualized plan built on assessment, goal-setting, and ongoing progress monitoring. Our therapy is family-focused and highly collaborative, working closely with parents, schools, and other therapists.

3. Range of Delivery Options

We support multiple therapy modes to suit your needs:

·         In-clinic sessions

·         Home / school outreach

·         Teletherapy (remote therapy) for added flexibility

4. Integration with Other Therapies

Beyond speech, we integrate educational therapy, occupational therapy, developmental therapy, and bilingual support so that language goals are not siloed but embedded within broader learning and development.

Key Services & Specialisations

Here are some of the interventions we provide in Singapore:

·         Articulation / Phonological Therapy: to remediate sound errors (e.g. lisp, speech clarity)

·         Language Therapy: for trouble understanding (receptive) or expressing (expressive) language

·         Stuttering & Fluency Therapy: for disfluency, repetition, blocking issues

·         Voice and Resonance Therapy: addressing voice quality, pitch, nasality

·         Social Communication / Pragmatic Skills: helping with conversation, turn-taking, nonverbal cues

·         Feeding & Swallowing Support: for children with oral motor or swallowing difficulties

·         School-Readiness & Academics Support: ensuring language supports learning, literacy, comprehension

·         Accent Modification (if needed): refining pronunciation for clearer communication

Our team also works with international & local schools, delivering shadow support, in-school therapy, and liaising with educators.

When Should You Seek a Speech Pathologist?

You might consider consulting a speech pathologist if:

·         Your child is significantly delayed in speech (e.g. not saying single words by 15–18 months)

·         Speech is unclear or difficult to understand

·         They repeat, block, or get stuck when speaking

·         Difficulty following instructions, comprehending language

·         Struggling to make friends or join conversations

·         Feeding difficulties, swallowing issues

·         After neurological events (stroke, brain injury) or surgeries affecting speech/swallowing

Early intervention matters. Research and clinical practice consistently show that earlier support leads to better outcomes.
