What is Speech Pathology?
Also referred to as speech therapy, speech pathology involves working with children or adults who have difficulties with communication and/or dysphagia issues (eating, drinking and swallowing). Speech pathology focuses on the individual’s ability to understand and use language. It also deals with the way words are produced including articulation, pitch, fluency and volume.
For children, speech therapy is aimed at achieving age-appropriate skills that help the child to communicate their messages, gain confidence and interact with their peers. Effective speech pathology involves establishing a treatment plan that is tailored to the child’s specific needs.
If you have been advised that your child might require speech therapy, Chatterbox is here to help with any language, literacy and communication needs for a wide age range of Perth children.

Passion and Experience
She takes pride in her practice and the well-being of her clients. Having worked in private practice, primary schools, education support schools and government settings since 2005, Kunali is passionate about nurturing children’s strengths to develop them into confident and successful individuals. She enjoys working with children and their families to develop effective communication and language skills.

How Chatterbox Began
Chatterbox was set up in 2009 as a result of Kunali recognising a gap in the speech pathology services available in Perth at that time. Kunali has always believed that services should be affordable for families and understands the worry and anxiety that comes with language delay. Kunali is a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist and is recognised as a professional who continuously updates her clinical skills. She is trained in several recognised treatment techniques including Lidcombe, PROMPT, LAMP and Hanen.
Community Outreach
Kunali has been fortunate enough to have worked in Kenya, donating her time and skills to low socio-economic families who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to receive such services. Kunali is also a member of Speech Pathology Australia and Private Speech Pathology Association of WA.
Personal Life
Kunali cherishes spending time with her family. She enjoys cooking with her two young children; going on picnics and walks; and learning about new cultures through travel.
