Paediatric Speech Therapist in Leonay
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 must attend Professional Development Workshops to keep their skills current and provide Chatterbox family members with the best 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. These difficulties don’t simply ‘go away”. These difficulties do not occur because your child is 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. Although a parent cannot cause their child to experience these difficulties, it is possible for them to find the right support and advice to help them.
