Meet Candice Stone - Paediatric Speech Pathologist
Owner, Bachelor Speech Pathology and Audiology
Candice Stone is a paediatric Certified Practising Speech Pathologist and Audiologist with more than 20 years of experience. She graduated from Witwatersrand University (Johannesburg) in Speech Therapy and Audiology in 2002 and quickly found her passion in paediatrics.
Candice worked for 7 years at various hospitals in London, working with children with educational learning difficulties as well as congenital/acquired sensorineural and conductive hearing losses. In 2008 and 2009 she worked on a diagnostic team associated with the National Newborn Hearing Screening Program, identifying hearing loss in children as young as 4 weeks old. Her passion for this field was further sparked by the prevention of speech and language delays that occurred with the early interventions that came about because of this program.
Candice opened her own private practice in Durban, South Africa and worked as a speech pathologist and audiologist assisting children with hearing, speech, and language challenges, alongside their families. It was during this time that Candice discovered a passion for working with children who have difficulties with listening, language and literacy.
After returning to Australia in 2016, Candice continued to work with children with listening, language, and literacy difficulties. She opened her own practice in 2018 in Wellington Point, Queensland allowing her to focus on her particular areas of interest as a paediatric speech pathologist.

Candice has additional training in Dyslexia and Dysgraphia intervention and treatment.
