Early Start Speech Pathology Children
Michelle Batey

Michelle started Early Start Speech Pathology as she wanted to create a business that was founded in respect. Respect for clients, respect for families and respect for her employees. Early Start Speech Pathology has grown and gone from strength to strength and is known and respected for its family-centred, child led practices.

Respect

For our client’s uniqueness, for our team and for ourselves.

Learning

Learning never stops. Learning from each other, learning from mistakes and learning in the moment.

Communication

Clear communication with our clients, our team and with each other. Clear communication is kind. Communication when we don’t understand and communication when we don’t meet expectations.

Connection

With families, with community, with professionals and with each other.

Creativity

Problem-solving, adapting, always thinking ahead with curiosity, having the courage to fail, accepting change.
