Paediatric Speech Therapist in Gregory Hills
Who will be my child’s speech pathologist and who will I ask?
We care about you and your family. We want your child to reach his or her full potential. Each time you visit our clinic, you will see the same therapist. This means that your child and family become familiar with the therapist who will lead your child’s communication journey. 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.
The Therapists at Chatterbox are required to continue their education. 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 have been specially trained to evaluate and treat children'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. Your child might be starting to avoid situations in which they need to talk or getting frustrated when they have homework to do.
