Mr Omar Afyouni is a speech pathologist based in Leppington, NSW. You can find his practice at 108 Ingleburn Rd, Leppington NSW 2179.
Mr Afyouni helps people of different ages who are dealing with speech and language difficulties. That can look like trouble being understood, finding the right words, or having a hard time putting sounds together the way you want. Over time, the focus is on practical ways to communicate more easily at home, at school, or in everyday life.
He also looks after swallowing, especially when someone has dysphagia. Swallowing problems can be stressful, and they can change how comfortable eating and drinking feels. In many cases, therapy aims to make swallowing safer and more manageable, with clear step-by-step support that fits into real routines.
Voice issues are another big part of the work. If a person’s voice sounds rough, breaks often, feels weak, or just doesn’t sound like them, voice therapy can help. Sessions typically concentrate on the things that affect the voice, like how it’s used during talking, how breathing supports speaking, and ways to reduce strain.
There’s also accent modification therapy for people who want their speech to be easier for others to understand. This is not about changing who someone is. It’s more about improving clarity, listening to feedback, and practising the speech patterns that make a difference in day-to-day conversations.
In clinic, the approach is usually calm and plain-language. The goal is to support progress that you can actually use outside therapy. At times, that means small changes and lots of practice. Other times, it means working out what’s getting in the way, then building confidence step by step.
Mr Afyouni has experience working with speech and swallowing needs, using the skills that come from formal speech pathology training. While details about publications, research, or clinical trials aren’t listed here, the therapy is focused on what helps in day-to-day communication and safe swallowing.
