Our Vision
Chat Shack Speech Pathology was borne from a desire to connect with our clients in a personalised and simplified way. As mums of young children ourselves, we want to deliver speech therapy in a way that recognises the uniqueness of every client and family that we see. Being neurodiversity affirming in our practice, is at the core of our clinical values. We strive for an approach that celebrates strengths so that our clients and families feel empowered, educated and supported in their speech therapy journey.
We want to be on your team!
Communication is not about speaking what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.
- Simon Sinek
How Can We Help?
Assessment
An assessment with a speech pathologist can help you determine whether you or your child is having difficulties with their communication. You may be concerned that your toddler is not speaking yet, or your child's teacher has noticed they are struggling to learn to read and write. Whatever the concern, a thorough assessment will set you on the right path going forward and help you determine whether therapy is needed. If you have already received assessment from another provider, the intake session with your speech pathologist will help you forge a path going forward.
Face to face therapy
We offer face to face therapy where we have access to a large range of resources and games to make each therapy session a fun experience. Children learn best through play and we want to keep them engaged and make it an enjoyable experience for everyone! If you or your child needs ongoing therapy, we do our best to find you a regular appointment time that can become part of your routine.
Teletherapy
Sometimes getting to a face to face appointment is just not possible - whether you live far away, your household is in isolation or you would prefer to access therapy from the comfort of your own home. Our speech therapists are very skilled at providing creative and fun therapy sessions. All you require is a computer or tablet with an internet connection and we will take care of the rest. Research has shown that speech therapy is just as effective via online learning as it is in person!
