Speech Therapy Narellan
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 help children with speech disorders such as stuttering or apraxia of speech, autism spectrum disorder, lisps, and assist with literacy development in childhood, expressive 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?
Your child and your family are important to us and we want to help your child reach their potential. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. This will allow your child and their family to become acquainted with the therapist that will be leading your child’s journey through communication. 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 worked with children of all age with language, speech or spelling difficulties.
Our Therapists need to keep their skills up-to-date. Regular Professional Development Workshops are required to ensure that our Therapists can provide Chatterbox families with the best, most current, 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’s because it is 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.
