BSpPath – Bachelor of Speech Pathology.
Baenita completed her Bachelor of Speech Pathology at Flinders University. Baenita has

Baenita specialises in the assessment and treatment of paediatric speech and language
assessment and therapy. Baenita has worked in a multidisciplinary team with Behaviour
Support Practitioners, Occupational Therapists and Music Therapists providing intervention to children with delayed development.
Baenita is a passionate clinician who advocates for her clients and implements individualised therapy that yields great results. Her goal is to build parents’ capacity in order for them to feel confident in managing their children’s needs independently; and for her clients to “graduate” from therapy as soon as possible, feeling well equipped with skills to communicate functionally in their everyday environments.
