We’re passionate about connecting children and adults to their world through communication.
Connecting
Word of Mouth Health + Learning is your local speech therapy service, offering clinic-based appointments in addition to community visits to homes, schools, day care centres and nursing homes throughout the Mudgee region and Central West. We are devoted to helping children and adults with communication or swallowing concerns and remain committed to providing the most up to date and beneficial therapies through regular access to continued professional development.
Engaging
Our dedicated, friendly and understanding Speech Pathologists deliver evidence-based therapies in a fun and engaging environment at our clinics in Mudgee and Wellington. We offer a wide variety of services, using the latest therapy resources for targeted and effective intervention.
Caring
Our caring Speech Pathologists collaborate with family, teachers, and health professionals who influence your child’s learning and development to create customised goals and programs that are as unique as your child. Our goal is to lay strong foundations to enable your child to thrive and succeed in their everyday lives. We love nothing more than working together to help your child realise their true potential with improved confidence.
Our Services
Speech Pathology
Speech pathologists help people of all ages to communicate. Speech pathologists also help people who have trouble swallowing, which can make eating and drinking difficult.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy supports people of all ages to participate in activities that they do in everyday life. Occupational therapists work with children, adolescents and adults by assisting them in overcoming unique challenges they are experiencing within their everyday lives.
Allied Health Support Teacher
We provide educational assessment and programming services for children with learning needs to promote their skill development and capacity for independence and community participation. Our approach involves working in natural learning environments such as daycare and school while collaborating with other professionals.
Allied Health Assistant
Our Allied Health Assistant plays a vital role in making our service delivery more efficient, effective, and lasting. This involves working alongside our Speech Pathologists and Allied Health Support Teacher to implement individual programs for treating speech, language, phonological processing, spelling, reading, social skills, and play difficulties using evidence-based practices.
Individual assessment
Our assessments are achieved through a combination of informal and standardised tests, depending on our client’s individual needs and ability. Following assessment, a summary or comprehensive report is created allowing individually tailored plans to be designed. A consultative approach is applied, ensuring all specific needs of the family and goals of other professionals involved are considered.
Therapy
If ongoing therapy is required, a tailored plan to manage the treatment will be discussed before a suitable therapist is appointed. Intervention may be weekly or less frequently with comprehensive home programmes provided.
School based services
Word of Mouth Health + Learning works with schools throughout the Mudgee and Wellington Region to provide screening programs and an innovative approach to intervention tailored specifically to meet the needs of students and schools.
Disabilities
All Word of Mouth therapists are highly trained and empathetic professionals with years of experience working in the disability sector. We are compassionate, knowledgeable and 100% committed to improving the lives of all people with their unique set of abilities.

We take a proactive, best-practice approach to intervention spending a generous amount of time with every client and documenting specific recommendations and management plans.
Feeding clinic

The clinic works with families and relevant medical professionals to establish safe feeding practices, normalise mealtime patterns and develop oral feeding skills.
