Speech Therapy Mount Annan
Speech therapists and speech pathologists work together to empower families and children with communication skills that foster learning. They also encourage participation in community and home activities. We can assist children suffering from stuttering and apraxia, autism spectrum disorder and lisps.
We believe that all children have the right to access therapy no matter their location. This is why we offer online therapy as well as services in our clinics at Rosehill, Bella Vista and Penrith & Kingswood. Our services are also available to local suburbs in Western Sydney.

Paediatric Speech Therapist in Mount Annan
Who will my child's speech therapist be?
Your child and your family are important to us and we want to help your child reach their potential. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. 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 also means the therapist will become familiar with how your child learns as their skills change and develop.
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 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. These difficulties don’t simply ‘go away”. These difficulties do not occur because your child is lazy. They may be avoiding situations that require them to speak or becoming frustrated with homework.
It’s because it is 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.
