Who Will Be My Child's Speech Pathologist?
We care about you and your family. We want your child to reach his or her full potential. 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 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 extensive experience working with children with communication difficulties, such as language, speech, spelling, stuttering, and social skills.
