Sarah Chan

Sarah is a Principal Speech Therapist with extensive experience supporting children and adolescents with a wide range of communication and feeding needs. She has particular expertise working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disability, Cerebral Palsy, Genetic Disorders, and other neurodevelopmental conditions, including those who are minimally verbal or non-speaking.

Sarah’s clinical interests include speech and language development, social communication, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and paediatric feeding disorders. She believes that communication is fundamentally about connection and is passionate about helping every child express themselves in ways that are meaningful to them, whether through speech, gestures, AAC, or other forms of communication. Through play-based therapy tailored to each child’s strengths and interests, Sarah helps children build confidence, form relationships, and participate more fully in everyday life.

Known for her warm and collaborative approach, Sarah works closely with families, educators, and other professionals to develop practical, functional goals that can be embedded into everyday routines. She believes the greatest progress happens when those supporting a child feel confident and empowered with strategies that extend beyond the therapy room.

Sarah holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Speech and Language Therapy from City, University of London. She is committed to ongoing professional development and has completed specialised training in Hanen More Than Words, SOS Approach to Feeding, PROMPT, OPT Feeding and Speech, and Lindamood-Bell Talkies.

In addition to her clinical work, Sarah enjoys mentoring university students and early career speech therapists. She has also delivered training and workshops for parents, educators, and multidisciplinary teams, equipping them with practical strategies to support children’s communication across home, school, and community settings.
