Our mission and aim

At Ripple Healthcare, we use evidence-based therapy to empower people who are experiencing challenges with:

  • Speech

  • Language

  • Cognitive-communication

  • Swallowing 


Everyone has the right to communicate and actively participate in all areas of their daily lives. We help individuals improve quality of life and the ability to express themselves while maintaining independence. Offering a person-centred approach to our therapy, we focus on compassion, collaboration and working alongside family and healthcare professionals.

 

We will support each person to achieve their communication and mealtime swallowing goals with confidence and dignity.
