JIA WEN (KARMEN) LEE

Jia Wen is a fun-loving speech therapist who wholeheartedly believes in the child-directed approach, where she follows the interests of the child, in order for the child to be engaged and motivated to communicate. Jia Wen’s philosophy centres around the importance of family in the development of a child, recognising that the family unit plays a crucial role in nurturing and guiding children towards their full potential. 

​

Jia Wen was awarded the MOHH scholarship to pursue her undergraduate studies in Australia, where she graduated with a Bachelor degree Speech Pathology with Honours. She has spent over 5 years working in a major hospital, with a strong interest in the rehabilitation setting. She found her greatest joy when she saw her clients regain their communication skills.
