Paediatric Speech Therapist in Bella Vista
Who will be my child’s speech pathologist and who will I ask?
We are committed to your child’s success and will work with you to make sure your family is happy. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. This ensures that you and your family are familiar with the therapist responsible for your child’s communication journey. This also means the therapist will become familiar with how your child learns as their skills change and develop.
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.
Our Therapists must continue to update their skills. They must attend Professional Development Workshops to keep their skills current and provide Chatterbox family members with the best research-based therapy.
Speech Pathologists have been specially trained to evaluate and treat children's communication skills.
Don’t wait. Early intervention is proven to be a key factor in helping children succeed now and for future success. These difficulties don’t simply ‘go away”. These difficulties do not occur because your child is lazy. They may be avoiding situations that require them to speak or becoming frustrated with homework.
This is because it is simply hard for them. While a parent can’t cause their child these problems, a parent who provides the right advice and support can help her child achieve success.
