Here in NZ they are also the go-to for swallowing issues (they are called SLTs here - speech-language therapists). Our 10 month old daughter is fed 50/50 via bottle and nasogastric tube due to an as yet undiagnosed issue that causes her to stop drinking partway through a feed when she is still hungry. Among the many specialists involved in her case, the SLTs are responsible for observing the mechanics of how she drinks and checking that she is safely swallowing etc.
