WOMBAT The Wombat
The wombat lives across the seas,
Among the far Antipodes.
He may exist on nuts and berries,
Or then again, on missionaries;
His distant habitat precludes
Conclusive knowledge of his moods.
But I would not engage the wombat
In any form of mortal combat.

Ogden Nash,1902-1971
 

Freida van Staden
SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST

 

Freida van Staden is a Certified Practising Member of Speech Pathology Australia. She joined the Gordon group in April 1998 and left on June 30, 2003, to settle in the Albury area, having made a wonderful contribution to the practice.

Freida graduated as a Speech-Language Pathologist from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1973, having gained a speech and drama licentiate diploma from the University of South Africa the previous year.

She has had a varied clinical background including positions as a Speech-Language Pathologist with the Transvaal Education Department, and as a research assistant and clinical tutor at the University of the Witwatersrand. While there, she was responsible for establishing a special unit for young language and hearing impaired children, heading the language component of the unit. She has also worked for a Remedial School and at a boys’ home.

From 1978 she conducted a thriving private practice in Johannesburg, developing skills in assessing and treating a wide range of communication disorders, particularly enjoying 3 to 8 year olds.

Always flexible and adaptable, Freida quickly became an integral member of our team from 1998 to 2003, seeing children with a range of speech, language, literacy and learning difficulties.

Web Site
Some of Freida's spare time is spent developing her fascinating Web Site where she has included a variety of speech and language therapy materials including her worksheets and stories and top ten resources. It gives Freida's clients (and their parents) quite a buzz when they see their illustrated creative writing posted on her site.
