Laura Sarson

My name is Laura Sarson and I began working at Speech Therapy Services in 2008. Prior to that I was employed by the Education Department of Victoria to provide speech and language services to schools in the south east region of Victoria. I was also employed by a private company, Oz Child, to run the pre-literacy 'Lift Off With Language' program with Kindy and Preprimary students. My areas of interest include school age language, articulation and (as you may have guessed) literacy. I believe that literacy is fundamental for learning in school. I love working with school aged children to help them reach their literacy goals and see their confidence bloom as a result. When I am not working at Speech Therapy Services I am taking care of my two children and enjoying being a mum!
