what is a speech pathologist
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE SPEECH PATHOLOGIST?
“Children learn to communicate by interacting with carers, early childhood educators, and their peers. A child’s communication development is everyone’s responsibility. Speech pathologists can support children (and those who care for them) to build communication, and make sure children are developing appropriately.”
– Speech Pathology Australia (SPA)
A Speech Pathologist will work with you to:
- Find out if your child is using and developing appropriate understanding and speaking
- Create communication-supporting learning spaces
- Help your child with a range of communication needs
If you think your child would benefit from support, consult a Speech Pathologist.
