PRINCIPAL SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPIST & MINDFULNESS TEACHER

With a passion for working with children, Jia Yue dived straight into providing paediatric speech-language therapy since graduating from her Masters of Science in Speech and Language Pathology from the National University of Singapore in 2014. Today, she works with children and young adults ranging from 18 months to 21 years old. Her areas of interest include early language, speech, and executive functioning. She believes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for therapy as each individual is unique and always tailors her sessions based on their interests and current abilities. Working closely with each family, it brings her great joy to witness their progress together.

Throughout the years of working with various families and professionals, the importance of taking care of one’s mental health became more prominent to Jia Yue. Eventually, this led to her journey of becoming a certified MIEA Mindfulness teacher and she looks forward to supporting more individuals in their own mindfulness journeys.
