Paediatric Speech Therapist in Auburn
Who will be my child’s speech pathologist and who will I ask?
Your child and your family are important to us and we want to help your child reach their potential. Each time you visit our clinic, you will see the same therapist. This allows your child and your family to get to know the therapist who will guide your child’s communication journey. This allows the therapist to get to know your child’s learning style and how they progress.
All of our therapists have a university degree at a minimum and are members of our professional body, Speech Pathology Australia. Our therapists are familiar with working with children of all ages, with different communication needs such as language, speech and spelling.
The Therapists at Chatterbox are required to continue their education. They attend regular Professional Development Workshops so that they can continue to provide Chatterbox families with the most up-to date, research based therapy.
Speech Pathologists Are Specifically Trained To Assess And Treat Your Child's Communication Skills.
Don’t wait. Early intervention has been shown to improve the chances of children succeeding in school and at home. In general these difficulties do not just ‘go away’. These difficulties do not occur because your child is lazy. It is possible that your child may avoid talking in certain situations or become frustrated when it comes to homework.
It’s because it is hard for them. Although a parent cannot cause their child to experience these difficulties, it is possible for them to find the right support and advice to help them.
