Paediatric Speech Therapist in Oran Park
Who will be my child’s speech pathologist and who will I ask?
We value your family and care about your child. You will see the same therapist every time you visit us at the clinic. This allows your child and your family to get to know the therapist who will guide your child’s communication journey. 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 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 attend regular Professional Development Workshops so that they can continue to provide Chatterbox families with the most up-to date, research based therapy.
We proudly offer our services to residents of Western Sydney with clinics in Bella Vista and Kingswood, Oran Park and Rosehill.
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. 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.
This is because it is simply hard for them. These difficulties are not caused by a parent. However, if a parent has the right support and advice, they can help their child succeed.
