Ange Tayler
3rd October 1974 – 4th July 2019
A gifted speech pathologist, colleague and dear friend Ange Tayler passed away in July 2019 after a brave battle with cancer. Ange founded Bubbles Speech Pathology in 2010.
Ange graduated as a speech pathologist in 1996 and worked in several locations in the United Kingdom before heading back to Perth and a position at the Koondoola Child Development Centre. Ange spent close to ten years working at Koondoola before starting her own private practice.
Bubbles Speech Pathology was opened in North Perth in 2010 in two small rooms attached to a yoga studio. The practice was a success and relocated to larger premises in Subiaco late in 2012. During this time Ange also served as President of the Private Speech Pathology Association of Western Australia.
Further expansion occurred and in collaboration with Gymworks Occupational Therapy – Ange designed and built this purpose built practice in Osborne Park which opened in July 2016.
Ange was an extraordinarily gifted therapist. Early in her career she became a clinical specialist for treating children who stuttered. Ange was an advanced Lidcombe trained therapist and successfully treated many young children.
Later in her career- Ange came across a treatment approach called PROMPT for treating children with motor speech difficulties. Ange believed in the PROMPT approach so whole heartedly that she continued through all levels of PROMPT training and completed her PROMPT certification, making her one of only seven speech pathologists in Australia to do so.
Not only was Ange renowned for her clinical skills – it was her passion and dedication to children and their families that set her apart. She constantly went over and above for her clients – creating many success stories with children who had often seen multiple other speech pathologists before finding her.
Ange quickly developed a reputation as an expert in the field and it was her reputation that led Bubbles to grow into such a successful practice. Bubbles Speech Pathology has become one of the largest and most successful private speech pathology practices in Perth.
The speech pathology profession in Western Australia has been greatly enriched by Ange’s knowledge, passion and dedication to the practice.
To honour her – the team at Bubbles Speech Pathology will strive to continue Ange’s excellence in service to children and their families.
