Paediatric Speech Therapist in Auburn
Who will be my child’s speech pathologist and who will I ask?
We value your family and care about your child. Each time you visit our clinic, you will see the same therapist. This allows your child and your family to get to know the therapist who will guide 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 need to keep their skills up-to-date. They are required to attend professional development workshops so they can keep providing Chatterbox families the most up-to-date, 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 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.
It’s because it is hard for them. Although a parent cannot cause their child to experience these difficulties, it is possible for them to find the right support and advice to help them.
