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. 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 worked with children of all age with language, speech or spelling difficulties.
Our Therapists are required to continually 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 are specially trained to assess and treat your child's communication skills.
Don’t wait. Early intervention has been proven to help children achieve their best both now and for later success. In general these difficulties do not just ‘go away’. These difficulties are not caused by your child being 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 is simply because they find it difficult 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.
