About of Renee Speyer

Renee Speyer is a Speech-Language Pathologist based in Townsville, QLD. She works from 1 Discovery Drive, Townsville, QLD 4811, Australia.


Renee helps people when everyday communication and swallowing feel hard. That can include trouble with swallowing, coughing or choking with meals, and concerns around safety and comfort when eating and drinking. At times, she also supports families when someone has had a laryngectomy, or when there are feeding and nutrition worries like malnutrition.


Alongside swallowing, Renee looks after speech and voice needs. This may include problems with spasmodic dysphonia, where the voice can sound tight or unpredictable. She can also support people living with spastic diplegia (infantile type), where muscle control and movement can affect speech, voice, and day-to-day function.


Renee also works with children and adults who are dealing with attention and focus challenges, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In many cases, it’s not just about learning new skills. It can be about breaking tasks into smaller steps, building routines, and finding ways to communicate clearly in busy, real-life settings.


Some clients also come to speech therapy because of drowsiness or fatigue, which can make it harder to take part in conversation, follow instructions, or stay engaged. Renee’s support is practical and grounded. She focuses on what happens in the moment and helps people work toward smoother, more comfortable communication and swallowing.


For people living with cerebral palsy, support often needs to be steady and tailored. That means paying attention to how speech sounds, how breathing and swallowing work, and how the person communicates day to day. Renee helps families and clients build strategies that fit their routines, not just what looks good in clinic.


Renee Speyer’s role is to help reduce stress around communication and meals, and to support better function over time. If you’re looking for speech pathology help in Townsville, Renee is there to support swallowing, voice, and communication needs across a range of common and complex challenges.
