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 are required to continually 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. In general these difficulties do not just ‘go away’. These difficulties are not caused by 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 is simply because they find it difficult A parent does not cause their child to have these difficulties, however a parent who has found the right advice and support can help their child to achieve success.
