Who Will Be My Child's Speech Pathologist?
We value your family and care about your child. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. 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 extensive experience working with children with communication difficulties, such as language, speech, 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 have been specially trained to evaluate and treat children's communication skills.
Don’t wait. Children can be helped now and in the future by early intervention. In general these difficulties do not just ‘go away’. These problems are not due to 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.
It is simply because they find it difficult 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.
