Our history
Our founder, Tara, is a speech-language pathologist from America who has a passion for helping others reach their potential. Upon moving to Australia, Tara began to learn more about the needs of Australians with disabilities. She heard the stories of families around the country struggling to find good skilled therapy support. It became her dream to help as many of these families as she could and provide them with hope for a better future for their loved ones. It is because of this dream that Elite Speech Therapy Services was established. Since its foundation, clients of all ability levels and conditions have been smashing goals and overcoming preconceived barriers.
