Speech Therapy Kingswood
Speech therapists and speech pathologists work together to empower families and children with communication skills that foster learning. They also encourage participation in community and home activities. We can provide care for children suffering from stuttering, apraxia of speech, autism spectrum disorder, lisps and assist with literacy development in early childhood, expressive language disorders, receptive language disorders and articulation disorders.
We believe that all children have the right to access therapy no matter their location. This is why we offer online therapy as well as services in our clinics at Rosehill, Bella Vista and Penrith & Kingswood. Our services are also available to local suburbs in Western Sydney.

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 means that your child and family become familiar with the therapist who will lead 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 are familiar with working with children of all ages, with different communication needs such as language, speech and spelling.
Our Therapists must continue to update their skills. 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 have been specially trained to evaluate and treat children's communication skills.
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”. 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.
