One Clinician

What One Clinician Means For Your Family

Most online services match a family with one of many therapists. At Online Speech Therapy there is one, and she is named.

  • The same person every session

    The person who assesses your child is the person who works with them in every session after that. Your child does not start again with someone new.

  • Trained in research

    A PhD is a research degree. Dr Lauren's was awarded by The University of Queensland, where she also works as a research assistant and casual academic.

  • A small number of families

    Dr Lauren works with a small number of families and has limited availability. That is why this site takes applications, and why a place cannot be guaranteed.
