Speech Therapy Rossmore
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 are able to provide assistance for children with stuttering, autistic spectrum disorder, lisps, and expressive language disorders.
We believe that every child deserves access to therapy, no matter where they are located. So we offer online therapy in addition to our clinics within Rosehill, Bella Vista or Oran Park, Penrith & Kingswood. We proudly also offer services to the suburbs of Western Sydney.

Paediatric Speech Therapist in Rossmore
Who will my child's speech therapist be?
We are committed to your child’s success and will work with you to make sure your family is happy. 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 will allow the therapist to learn how your child learns and changes as they grow.
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 specifically trained to evaluate and treat communication skills in children.
Don’t wait. Early intervention is proven to be a key factor in helping children succeed now and for future success. These difficulties don’t simply ‘go away”. These problems are not due to your child being lazy. You may find they are starting to avoid situations where they have to talk, or will become frustrated when they have to do their homework.
This is because it is simply hard for them. A parent does not cause their child to have these difficulties, however a parent who has found the right advice and support can help their child to achieve success.
