It’s been a busy past few months at Kat’s Speech Pathology, so an overdue welcome to the team post for our therapists Fang and Sebastian, who joined us in the middle of the year as we continue to grow! Fang brings with her a positive, upbeat energy that all of her clients love. Having Fang in the clinic means we get to overhear her and her clients having lots of fun in therapy sessions and lots of laughter! We were also lucky enough to welcome Sebastian to our team, male Speech Therapists are not common so you could say he is a bit of a “unicorn” in the Speech Pathology world! His genuine commitment to his profession and his kindness and generosity have been heart warming to see. We look forward to seeing you both evolve and grow with us here at KSP!

Kat's Speech Pathology will be running two different small group school holiday programs in January!
- Phonics – Teach your child to read & spell with Sounds-Write, the gold standard of evidence based teaching:
We are fortunate enough to have therapists who are experienced in the evidence-based program “Sounds-Write” which is an evidence-based approach to phonics instruction with incredible results. This group will provide instruction using Sounds-Write lessons to improve your child’s ability to read and spell words. A great way to continue to build on what they are learning through the year in their literacy lessons.
- LEGO therapy – build social skills while having fun!
This group is aimed at children between the ages of 6-12 years, who require support in developing their social skills. An evidence-based approach to teaching social skills and particularly effective for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, however can be used for children without a diagnosis. This group is a lot of fun and allows children to build not only their social skills but also their language skills while having a great time with LEGO.
