Paediatric Speech Therapist in Bella Vista
Who will my child's speech therapist be?
We value your family and care about your child. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. This means that your child and family become familiar with the therapist who will lead your child’s communication journey. The therapist will also be familiar with your child’s learning process as they develop and change.
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 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 specifically trained to evaluate and treat communication skills in children.
Don’t wait. Early intervention has been shown to improve the chances of children succeeding in school and at home. These difficulties don’t simply ‘go away”. Your child is not having these difficulties because they are lazy. They may be avoiding situations that require them to speak or becoming frustrated with homework.
This is because it is simply hard for them. 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.
