Who will my child's speech therapist be?
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 will allow your child and their family to become acquainted with the therapist that will be leading your child’s journey through communication. The therapist will also be familiar with your child’s learning process as they develop and change.
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 are required to continually update their skills. Regular Professional Development Workshops are required to ensure that our Therapists can provide Chatterbox families with the best, most current, research-based therapy.
Speech Pathologists Are Specifically Trained To Assess And Treat Your Child'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”. Your child is not having these difficulties because they are lazy. You may find they are starting to avoid situations where they have to talk, or will become frustrated when they have to do their homework.
It’s because it is hard for them. A parent does not cause their child to have these difficulties, however a parent who has found the right advice and support can help their child to achieve success.
