Hello, I' m Laurie, the founder of Gold Coast Speech Pathology Clinic. I am a Member of Speech Pathology Australia and a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist, offering families a holistic, child-centered mobile therapy service.

I studied my Masters of Speech Pathology through Griffith University and prior to this completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, majoring in Neuroscience and Genetics, through the University of Adelaide. I have been working as a Speech Pathologist for seven years within exclusively paediatric settings, with a variety of children and adolescents presenting with speech and language needs. I believe having the ability to communicate effectively within different environments is vital to children's health and wellbeing, and precedes their ability to form successful relationships and learn.

I have professional expertise and experience in the following areas: Apraxia; Articulation and Phonology; Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC); Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder ; Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder; Developmental Delays; Diagnostic Assessments as part of a Multidisciplinary team; Developmental Language Disorder; Dyslexia; Learning Difficulties; Reading and Writing; Selective Mutism ; Parent/Caregiver Training; Working with teachers to achieve appropriate differentiation for children with speech and language needs.

Please contact me to book a free consult for your child.
