Meet Erin Shephard

Speech Pathologist

Erin Shephard

“I grew up in a rural area which meant when my brother needed speech therapy we had to travel to seek services. I became determined to become a speech pathologist to help others just as many had helped my family.”
~ Erin

Meet Erin, a dedicated Speech Pathologist based in Atherton, QLD. Erin graduated from CQU Rockhampton with a Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours) in 2021 and spent four years working as a rural generalist speech pathologist in a hospital setting.

Erin is particularly passionate about advocating for rural and remote communities and excels in the areas of adult swallowing, dementia care, and early childhood speech and language development. Her extensive clinical toolkit includes training in treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech, supporting social participation after stroke, and community Auslan. She has also completed the Understanding Dementia Certificate and specialised courses in play-based therapy for young children.
