🎂It’s our birthday! We’ve just celebrated 24 years of Speech Pathology Tasmania.

SPT was born when our founder Rosie Martin had two young children and a desire for flexible work serving the communication needs of families. Since then we’ve grown into a team of passionate and experienced Speech Language Pathologists, Orton-Gillingham Educators, and support staff, offering a variety of services for a wide range of communication, literacy and swallowing needs.

We’re proud to have supported a significant number of Tasmanian families over the years, and love that we get to continue doing so.

Thank you for your continued support!
