Who Will Be My Child's Speech Pathologist?
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 means that your child and family become familiar with the therapist who will lead 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 extensive experience working with children with communication difficulties, such as language, speech, 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 is proven to be a key factor in helping children succeed now and for future success. In general these difficulties do not just ‘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.
It’s because it is 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.
