Paediatric Speech Therapist in Parklea
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. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. This allows your child and your family to get to know the therapist who will guide your child’s communication journey. 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 experience working with children of all ages with a range of communication needs, including: language, speech, reading, spelling, stuttering and social skills.
The Therapists at Chatterbox are required to continue their education. 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 proven to help children achieve their best both now and for later success. In general these difficulties do not just ‘go away’. These problems are not due to your child being 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. While a parent can’t cause their child these problems, a parent who provides the right advice and support can help her child achieve success.
