About Word Haven Speech Pathology
Word Haven Speech Pathology is a paediatric speech pathology practice run by Chloe Teoh, a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist. Sessions run at the Glen Waverley clinic inside Glenmount Medical Clinic, at school or in the community, and by telehealth.
Chloe works with preschool and school-aged children, providing assessment and therapy for speech sounds and articulation, early language, school-aged language, literacy, stuttering, gestalt language processing and childhood apraxia of speech. The approach is neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based, built with families, educators and other professionals so that strategies carry into everyday settings.
Word Haven also runs kinder screenings: brief onsite speech and language screenings at kindergarten and childcare centres. Clients who are self-managed or plan-managed under the NDIS are welcome, and Medicare and private health rebates may apply.

Word Haven Speech Pathology lists
- Speech Pathology Assessment
- Comprehensive speech pathology assessment and screening covering developmental history, strengths, areas of need and current concerns, used to build an individualised therapy plan.
- Articulation Therapy
- Support for children who say sounds differently in ways that make them harder to understand, such as saying "tat" for "cat" or "wabbit" for "rabbit".
- Receptive Language
- Support for children who need help understanding spoken language, instructions or questions, including those who need directions broken into smaller steps or who take longer to respond.
- Expressive Language
- Support with grammar and tenses and with organising thoughts into sentences, for children who use short sentences, mix up word order, or find it tricky to tell a story.
- Literacy
- Support to develop spelling, reading, letter-sound knowledge, vocabulary and storytelling.
- Gestalt Language Processing (GLP)
- Support for children who learn to speak in whole phrases or scripts, such as repeating lines from shows, helping them move toward flexible language while celebrating their natural way of learning.
- Stuttering
- Support for children who repeat sounds, syllables or words, stretch sounds, or have moments where speech feels stuck, focusing on confidence and reducing communication pressure.
- Childhood Apraxia of Speech
- Therapy for childhood apraxia of speech, including Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC).
- Kinder Screenings
- Brief onsite speech and language screenings at kindergarten and childcare centres, covering speech sounds, understanding and using language, and early literacy. Each screening takes 15 to 20 minutes and includes a written summary for educators and families and a follow-up phone call.
- Telehealth Speech Pathology
- Interactive, goal-focused speech pathology sessions from home, useful for parent coaching, home practice and supporting communication in everyday environments.

Our approach
Chloe's approach is neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based, tailored to each child's individual communication style, interests and needs. Therapy supports speech, language and literacy through meaningful, everyday experiences rather than drills alone. She works closely with families, educators and other professionals, providing practical strategies that can be used across everyday environments. Session notes are provided to families and, with consent, can be shared with the child's educators.
Working with families
Families are treated as partners. Chloe works closely with families, educators and other professionals to provide practical strategies that can be used at home, at kinder or at school, so progress carries beyond the session. Session notes are provided to families and, with consent, can also be shared with the child's educators. Telehealth sessions are used for parent coaching and home practice where that suits a family better.
Meet the team
Word Haven Speech Pathology is run by Chloe Teoh, a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist with experience across private practice, kindergartens and schools. Her training includes Colourful Semantics, Sounds Write, READ-3, Cued Articulation, Gestalt Language Processing through Meaningful Speech, Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) for childhood apraxia of speech, Neurodiversity Affirming Practice through Play.Learn.Chat, and Liberator AAC device trial training.
Your first visit
The initial consultation generally includes developmental screening, clinical observation and a discussion about your child's communication. If further assessment is recommended, a standardised assessment such as the CELF-5 may be suggested to explore your child's communication strengths and the areas where they may benefit from support. No referral is needed to book: families can self-refer and book directly. A GP referral is only required if you plan to access Medicare rebates.
