Overview

Alyssa joined the team in 2024 and has a Bachelor of Applied Science and a Masters of Speech Pathology from La Trobe University. Alyssa is passionate about helping children reach their communication goals no matter if they verbal or non-verbal. She tries to incorporate a child’s interests and needs into her therapy as she believes a strengths-based approach will allow the child to be more engaged throughout the session which will then help them to achieve their communication goals. Alyssa strives to ensure that she has built strong rapport with her clients and their caregivers and takes a holistic approach when considering therapy actives and goals.
