About
Hi, I'm Mel – Founder of KAIR Speech Therapy
I'm a speech therapist based in Perth, Western Australia and a proud mum of three – KAIR is named after the first initials of my kids! I've been fortunate to work with clients in Perth as well as regional and remote communities across WA, delivering speech therapy where it's needed most.
I believe therapy is most effective when it takes place in the environments where people live, learn, and connect – whether that's at home, in school, daycare, or out in the community. My approach is play-based and tailored to each childs unique interests and needs, ensuring therapy is meaningful and empowering.
Everyone deserves access to high-quality therapy, no matter where they live – and that’s the heart of what KAIR Speech Therapy is all about.
