How can we help you?
Work with us, learn from us
As you know at Well Spoken we receive referrals from medical and dental specialists to help with disorders of function in the upper airway and their impacts on communication. We offer a clinical service, training for professionals and last but not least great resources for parents who want to learn more about what they can do for their children: developing a healthy airway, night and day, especially breathing, during sleep. In fact there is a lot more you can do for your ‘little people’ than you imagine.
We believe every person has the right to be happy, healthy and heard.

The Well Spoken Way
If you have been referred to Well Spoken, your medical or dental specialist will have sent us a referral. Once we receive it, we send you details to make an initial booking online. Once your assessment is complete, your Speech Pathologist will design a program for you. Of course, programs vary by age disorder severity and type of disorder but we think very carefully about the most suitable program, that will get you the best results. Remember though, we are your guide.
We can show you how to make changes and help you understand the process of change, but we cannot do it for you. You will get the most amazing results when you are 100% motivated and put in 100% focus and effort. We understand the many demands of daily life, and always discuss the best timing of treatment, to ensure that you can give it your 100% focus. We want to set you up for success. That’s our happy place, and hopefully yours too.
We are proud of and love our clinical work at Well Spoken, serving patients of all ages, face to face, online, in groups and providing online self-paced learning opportunities. But we offer way more here at Well Spoken.
Upper Airway Disorders?
These disorders include: breathing, chewing, swallowing, voice, resonance, speech, chronic cough & throat clear and sleep disordered breathing.
In a nutshell, the upper airway begins at the front of the face and extends just beyond your larynx (voice box). Essential life functions, breathing, eating and communication all happen in this zone. Mostly people are unaware, that is, until something goes wrong.
“ I don’t know how many times I have heard from patients that they never realised how important e.g. voice was, until they lost it.”
Speech Pathology & Myofunctional Science
At Well Spoken we offer traditional Speech Pathology programs fully integrated with Myofunctional science(muscle movement).

Treatment
Sharon Moore founder of Well Spoken, has developed, trialled and tested many treatment programs over decades of clinical work. They are based on the neuroscience of learning and behaviour change, psychology of habit, motor learning and firmly rooted in anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology and myofunctional science. The latest research is interwoven into our ‘simple’ interventions. There is an old saying about “Complex things look so simple they bely the thousands of hours taken to develop them”. This describes perfectly, the programs we run at Well Spoken, simple and effective.
“It’s really complicated to make something complex look simple,
just try it.”

No matter the cause or severity, sleep problems need to be identified and treated, as early as possible so that every person gets the sleep they need every night to be healthy and happy.
Sharon Moore
The way you breathe can disturb your sleep and it is common. Don’t wait. Treat early.

While it is best to treat little problems before they grow into big ones, it’s (almost) never too late.
Sharon Moore
We can safely say that when seemingly ‘little’ things go wrong, or if the problem is mild, it can still have a ‘big’ impact in our everyday life and out future.
Sharon Moore
Everything we do and say today, will have an impact on our health and happiness tomorrow.
Sharon Moore
It is way better to treat an upper airway or communication issue way before it becomes a big issue in daily life, although it seems to be human nature to wait until things get 'bad’
Sharon Moore
We need to treat children long before their problems develop into bigger problems as adults
Sharon Moore
I believe that there has never been a more important time for medical, dental and allied health colleagues to work as a team so that families get the best outcomes, especially knowing the significant consequences of untreated upper airway, sleep and breathing problems.
Sharon Moore
I'm passionate about delivering key research on the importance of upper airway health and sleep right to parents' fingertips, knowing that 80% of problems are missed, dismissed or misdiagnosed! and early treatment delivers the best outcomes.
