Ms Lauren Bassil is a Speech Pathologist based in Burwood, NSW. You can find her at 74 76 Burwood Road, Burwood NSW 2134. She works with both children and adults, helping people get their communication back on track when life gets in the way.
In day to day visits, Lauren supports a range of speech and language needs. This can include speech sounds that are hard to make, problems with understanding and using language, and changes in how someone speaks over time. At times, it’s also about finding the right way to communicate at school, at work, or at home.
Lauren also does language development evaluation. That means looking closely at what’s going on, and then putting together a plan that fits the person and their situation. It’s not just about labels. It’s about making sure the support matches the goals, like joining in with conversations, following directions, or feeling more confident when talking.
For some people, the focus is on voice. Lauren offers voice therapy for vocal disorders, which can affect volume, pitch, and how long someone can comfortably use their voice. Voice issues can be frustrating, especially if you use your voice for work or for teaching, caring, or being on the go all day.
Swallowing matters too. Lauren provides swallowing therapy for dysphagia. When swallowing gets harder, it can change how safe and comfortable eating and drinking feels. Therapy can help with strategies and support so mealtimes are less stressful, and people can move forward step by step.
Appointments are practical and grounded. Lauren aims to keep things clear, so you know what’s happening and why a certain approach is being used. Sessions are tailored to the person, whether that’s helping a child build communication skills, supporting an adult after a change in health, or working on everyday speech, language, voice, and swallowing goals.
