Corinne Bonetta

Corinne is a Speech Pathologist with a heart for helping every child navigate their unique feeding challenges.  Corinne has spent most of her career working as a feeding therapist across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, and South East Sydney. Her career has been dedicated to supporting little ones and their families access great quality feeding support. She has worked in a range of feeding settings and has established feeding clinics in communities at risk or poorer health outcomes. She has  worked in Multidisciplinary Feeding Clinics, ARFID clinics, neonatal intensive care units, and outpatient community services, which has contributed the broad skill set she possesses. Her background is in child and family health care and paediatric developmental clinics, where she fostered a strong skill set in all areas of communication therapy and paediatric care which she brings in to her training and supporting the Speech Pathology team at Talking Happy Kids.

Corinne has a special place in her heart for children with Pediatric Feeding Disorders (PFD), Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and dysphagia. Her approach is all about exercising compassion—understanding that every child’s journey is unique. Corinne works hand-in-hand with families, listening intently and collaborating at every step, to make sure that each child and family can grow, communicate their needs, and thrive in their eating and drinking adventures. When she isn't seeing clients, and running Happy Kids Clinic, Corinne is usually providing mentoring, supervision, or presenting her feeding workshops to other therapists or clinics.

Beyond the clinic, Corinne is a passionate advocate for inclusivity, always pushing for better policies that consider the real-life experiences of her clients. By partnering with universities, local schools and preschools, and local governments, Corinne strives to bring the voices of her clients and their families into conversations that matter—ensuring that no child is left behind.
