TESTIMONIALS


Speech Pathology Australia (SPA), which is the national peak body for Speech Pathologists in Australia, has recently mandated that testimonials of any form are not allowed in any form which may be considered advertising for Speech Pathologists. SPA’s view is that testimonials are unacceptable forms of advertising as they are subjective, maybe misleading and cannot be verified as fact.
At ESP we understand that many individuals seeking speech pathology services wish to read the views and opinions from parents and individuals who have received treatment and services within this clinic.
Unfortunately this is not allowed by SPA.
