Paediatric Speech Therapist in Oatlands
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. 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. 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 have worked with children of all age with language, speech or spelling difficulties.
Our Therapists must continue to 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 Specifically Trained To Assess And Treat Your Child'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.
This is because it is simply hard for them. These difficulties are not caused by a parent. However, if a parent has the right support and advice, they can help their child succeed.
