Talking Trouble Aotearoa NZ

TTANZ’s speech-language therapists (SLTs) are passionate about improving New Zealand’s response to the speech, language and communication needs experienced by many children, youth and adults involved with care and protection, justice, mental health and behaviour services. Our specialised, practical and energetic speech-language therapists provide clinical services, research, professional training and consultation, and deliver court-appointed Communication Assistance roles in legal settings. We also work occasionally with adults involved with similar agencies.
