about sharnay
Hi, I’m Sharnay Mail, the founder and principal speech pathologist at Speech Prompt. I’m passionate about supporting children of all ages to develop strong communication skills in a way that feels natural, enjoyable, and tailored to their unique needs.
With over 24 years of experience in childhood speech and language development, I founded Speech Prompt to provide high-quality, evidence-based therapy that is both effective and fun.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and this allows me to draw on the latest research and proven techniques to create engaging, play-based sessions that are highly individualised and deliver meaningful results. Whether your child is working on speech clarity, language development, or other communication goals, my aim is to help them thrive both at home and at school.
I look forward to partnering with families to celebrate every step of progress along the way.
Sharnay is dedicated to supporting children from their first words through to confident, clear communication –
in a warm, play-based environment they’ll love.
She understands that every child is unique and takes the time to understand your child’s strengths, goals and personality. Sharnay has completed additional training in a range of evidence-based approaches and programmes, including PROMPT, Hanen (It Takes Two to Talk, More Than Words and Target Word), the Lidcombe Program, Sounds-Write and Key Word Sign. She thoughtfully draws on strategies from these programmes to create therapy that is personalised, engaging and meaningful for each child. By working closely with families and building on each child’s strengths and interests, Sharnay helps children develop the communication skills they need with confidence, both in therapy and in everyday life.
