Who Will Be My Child's Speech Pathologist?
We value your family and care about your child. 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 have extensive experience working with children with communication difficulties, such as language, speech, spelling, stuttering, and social skills.
Our Therapists must continue to 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 evaluate and treat communication skills in children.
Don’t wait. Children can be helped now and in the future by early intervention. These difficulties don’t simply ‘go away”. These problems are not due to your child being lazy. It is possible that your child may avoid talking in certain situations or become frustrated when it comes to 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.
