Paediatric Speech Therapist in Dundas Valley
Who will be my child's speech pathologist?
We are committed to your child’s success and will work with you to make sure your family is happy. Each time you visit our clinic, you will see the same therapist. This ensures that you and your family are familiar with the therapist responsible for 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 have extensive experience working with children with communication difficulties, such as language, speech, spelling, stuttering, and social skills.
Our Therapists need to keep their skills up-to-date. They are required to attend professional development workshops so they can keep providing Chatterbox families the most up-to-date, research-based therapy.
Speech pathologists are specially 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 are not caused by your child being lazy. They may be avoiding situations that require them to speak or becoming frustrated with homework.
It’s because it is hard for them. These difficulties are not caused by a parent. However, if a parent has the right support and advice, they can help their child succeed.
