Who We Are

The Kat’s Speech Pathology team are passionate about their work and offer extensive experience in working with children. Kat’s Speech Pathology was founded in 2013 and we have provided quality therapy services to many children ever since. We are always guided by parents and teachers to assist children to achieve their goals in the areas that matter most. We work closely with parents and teachers to identify the most important goals for each client as well as to provide strategies to be used at home and at school in order to maximise progress.

Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches including Sounds-Write, Talk For Writing, Hanen and Lidcombe. We pride ourselves on maintaining an awareness of the current research in speech, language and literacy and attend regular professional development events to maximise outcomes for clients.
