Paediatric Speech Therapist in North Rocks
Who will my child's speech therapist be?
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 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 experience working with children of all ages with a range of communication needs, including: language, speech, reading, spelling, stuttering and social skills.
Our Therapists must continue to update their skills. They attend regular Professional Development Workshops so that they can continue to provide Chatterbox families with the most up-to date, 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 problems are not due to your child being lazy. They may be avoiding situations that require them to speak or becoming frustrated with 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.
