Who Will Be My Child's Speech Pathologist?
We value your family and care about your child. 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 also means the therapist will become familiar with how your child learns as their skills change and develop.
All of our therapists have a university degree at a minimum and are members of our professional body, Speech Pathology Australia. Our therapists have worked with children of all age with language, speech or spelling difficulties.
Our Therapists are required to continually 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. Early intervention has been proven to help children achieve their best both now and for later success. These difficulties don’t simply ‘go away”. These difficulties do not occur because your child is lazy. Your child might be starting to avoid situations in which they need to talk or getting frustrated when they have homework to do.
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.
