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. Each time you visit our clinic, you will see the same therapist. This means that your child and family become familiar with the therapist who will lead 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 are familiar with working with children of all ages, with different communication needs such as language, speech and spelling.
Our Therapists need to keep their skills up-to-date. 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 specially 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 do not occur because your child is lazy. They may be avoiding situations that require them to speak or becoming frustrated with homework.
